Title: I guess they really can't fly. Post by: Shockeye on April 19, 2005, 05:07:52 AM Quote from: AFP 140 Lappland reindeer in mysterious death plunge (http://www.thelocal.se/article.php?ID=1297) (AFP) One hundred and forty reindeer have plunged to their death in Lappland in northern Sweden, possibly having been chased off a cliff by a single lynx, reindeer herders said on Tuesday. "About 140 reindeer have been killed," Olof Tomas Labba, of the Tuorpons Sami town that owns the reindeer, told AFP. "It's a massacre. I have never seen anything like this," town spokesman Nils Petter Pavval told local paper Norrländska Socialdemokraten, adding that the reindeer had been grazing when something frightened them. "It was a lynx that chased and frightened the reindeer off the cliff. Reindeer have a sixth sense, they know the cliffs and overhangs and thin ices. They don't just rush off a cliff of their own free will, but must have done this in panic when a predator hunted them," he added. According to Labba, the reindeer had been valued at about 300,000 kronor (42,500 dollars). Title: Re: I guess they really can't fly.
