have you heard about them we've seen many of those in the last few decades on humans and animals the
plague the current pandemic the bird flu etc we're here today to give you a deeper look into the 10
most mysterious mass animal deaths stay with us till the end these aren't scripted movies
and i bet you've ever even knew about them number 10 deep sea a day at the beach is something we
all have good memories of the beautiful beach playing in the sand and swimming in the sea water
but this story is a bit of a spooky sea where not only one but two types of mammals were found dead
110 pilot whales and 10 bottlenose dolphins to be exact imagine you plan a picnic at the
beach with your parents but when you reach the destination you see over 100 animals lying dead
whales are a giant animal and the beach quickly started to look like a morgue no doubt it is
a very sad sight to witness a rescue mission was carried out and around 50 wells were saved
there are several reasons as to why they were stranded maybe that they ate something poisonous
or maybe one whale led the pod in a bad area with a virus in the water the last theory is
that water currents weren't favorable for the whales and pushed them on shore surprisingly
this isn't a one-time incident it happened in 2004 2008 2009 and in 2020 the same incident took place
number nine starvation staying hungry isn't something any of us enjoy
we can consider ourselves super lucky if we get our favorite food for dinner
but sometimes animals aren't that lucky and even getting something to eat is very hard penguins
are undoubtedly very cute they look like little people in suits and have the cutest mannerisms
they live in icy cold regions and hunt for fish under frozen water in july of 2010 a
tragedy hit our world when 500 dead magellan penguins were found on the shore of brazil
for five continuous days of penguins kept getting washed up at the shore
when a detailed examination was done it was discovered that their stomachs were empty
that can only indicate one thing but they didn't get to eat any food thus died due to starvation
what is your favorite food let us know in the comment section below number 8. turtles
el salvador is a country in central america where many different types of turtles are found
the local animal ministry has made a lot of efforts to help the population of turtles grow
but what happened in 2017 left everyone shocked as a 4 to 500 endangered species of turtles
were found dead the authorities don't know what caused the mass deaths but a similar incident had
happened in the past in 2013 the authorities had suggested that the turtles had consumed a certain
type of algae that was poisonous it for sure is a very saddening incident especially when the locals
have been making so many efforts for the turtle population to not be endangered anymore let's hope
that they can find out the reason and fix it soon because a world without turtles would just be sad
number seven pelicans dietary issues as we're told over and over again eating healthy is good for us
it turns out this advice is true for animals too in 2009 at the california coast hundreds of
pelicans were found dead there was no proof as to what could be the reason for their death but the
main suspect is that the drastic change in weather created a different eating pattern for pelicans
so just like us pelicans need a steady eating schedule and good food to be in great shape number
six say whales say whale also known as the baleen whale is the third largest roqual they are found
in the deep shore and are currently endangered which means that there are very few of them left
knowing that these whales are endangered how would it feel to tell you that 337 were found dead in
chile within a few days this is the biggest whale stranded recorded in history the reason for the
death is unknown to this day you can only imagine that if their death has made a place in history
it must have been a massive event the beach had to be closed in order to clean it up as whales
are massive and the cause of death was unknown it could have been dangerous for humans too
if you ever see a dead whale near your beach don't go standing beside it for pictures
trust me you don't want to leave right now the craziest stories are coming
right your way my pick for today is nature's natural disaster announcer that being
number five the common myrrh seabird the mercy bird is a whitefird black beaked bird
they're commonly found in alaska and there's a great number of them
but what happens when you find 8000 of these birds dead lying around
a biologist says that the ecosystem's health can be told by bird behavior when birds are dying it's
a huge indicator of where the world is heading the reason for their death is the warm waters
this means only one thing global warming thus creating changes in the environment resulting
in habitat change for many animals at that point it becomes the survival of the fittest number four
no more honey bees are one of the most important living creatures for our environment because they
help in pollination a third of america's food production is carried out by bees you can imagine
that if these bees disappeared it could affect our environment more than badly this isn't the first
time such a quantity of bees have disappeared many different names have been given to their missing
number disappearing disease spring dwindle disease and autumn collapse but when one-third of the bees
died the phenomenon changed to colony collapse disorder we don't know the reason for these bees
disappearance but we do know that this is a very alarming bell for where the earth's ecosystem is
going imagine if they were to go extinct who will pollinate no animal is useless and they all play
a very vital role just by their existence it keeps the world in its correct balance
thank you for watching this far but we're not done yet stick with us for a few more stories
number three it's raining birds raining birds is a phenomenon that we've seen in many movies
it's a time when something really serious is about to happen the sky darkens up and
birds start falling one by one large number of birds fall and people have to take shelter
now take this scene and imagine it's all real and not part of a movie in an arkansas town
this scene as depicted in movies took place in real life when the birds dead bodies were
being removed the workers wore suits just in case some disease could have been transferred
usually these birds don't fly at night so what caused them to leave their roost and fly
at night and die while flying we might never know it took the workers two days to clean up the area
that can give you a good idea of how many birds there were number two sardines washed up
some people do enjoy lunch of a tin can of sardines and crackers but what happens when
the shore is filled with millions of these little silver fishes during march of 2011 in california
so many sardines were found dead on the beach that people were not able to move their boats around
explanations of how a huge number of sardines washed up were that either they were trying to
save themselves from the red tide or took shelter from large fishes or maybe the winds trapped them
causing suffocation we won't really know what could have been the cause of it but we sure do
hope that such an incident is not repeated number one population vanishes in six days
sixty thousand is a very large number to say that sixty thousand of a certain species is dead
is simply shocking what could have caused such a trauma that a massive number of animals died in
this story we're talking about antelopes which are a sister group of deers that contains 135 species
now if i were to tell you that in only four days around 60 000 antelopes were found dead would you
believe me the first thing that would cross my mind would be what caused such a massive amount
of death there was an emergency meeting held between four countries to figure out what took
place to cause this event it's alarming but 60 000 of them dying in four days shocking the scientists
discovered that the deaths were caused by bacteria found in the soil this bacteria caused internal
bleeding then slowly brought death these bacterias were present in the soil for a long time what
triggered it to become toxic was high temperatures due to climate change thank you for watching click
