something fishy!

Another mass death of animals is now being reported. This time 2 million fish were found dead in Maryland. This come after thousands of blackbirds died in Arkansas after New Years Eve. The fish are almost totally juvenile spot fish, and experts are agreeing that the most likely cause is the extremely cold water temperatures. Another contributing factor was probably the unusally large number of this species of fish this year. The water could just not support all of the fish. This is at least the third time that a massive fish kill has happened in this area, the others were in 1976 and 1980.

This is a very strage event thats has continusly happend to this area. I have never heard of anything like this before. a mass death of animals is a new term for me. And that this happend in the United States is even stranger. i dont understan what really happend to all these fish that they died at once but it is weird. we need to find out how to stop things like this from happening again.
