Kejn Awake: The Gory Side of Etosha

[kejn]

death is everywhere in the wild. horrible painful gooey death. it's part of nature. and if you live and work in a place like etosha you see traces of it every day.

go behind the cut to see the stomach-churning and heart-wrenching...

no snakes or spiders though!

I am I the only morbid person who found this post interesting?! So are these anthrax hotspots something that humans will/should intervene with or does nature just get to take its course?

One had to be on the lookout for rabid dogs and cats in LA, but coyotes and the like were generally too timid to be a threat to humans. How does one handle the threat of rabid bats?

i'm glad for every morbid person on my flist, even if you do seem to be the only one. :)

there is so much we don't know about anthrax and etosha is a great natural lab to study it in. besides, i don't think there's anything you can do to get rid of it except for nuking the whole place...

how does one handle the threat of rabid bats? you avoid thinking of it. :)
