Quote: "Hundreds of dead sea turtles have been found floating off El Salvador's Pacific coast, leaving officials scratching their heads as to what caused the massacre. The environment ministry said on Twitter on Thursday that its officers 'found between 300 and 400 dead sea turtles floating around seven nautical miles (eight miles, or 13 kilometers) offshore from Jiquilisco Bay.' Most of the animals were decomposing when they were found, the ministry said, without giving their species. 'We don't know what caused the sea turtles' death,' the ministry said, adding that laboratory tests would be carried out."

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5078689/Thousands-SNAILS-invade-popular-beach-Florida.html
http://www.sott.net/article/367697-Millions-of-black-snails-invade-beach-in-St-Petersburg-Florida

Quote: "A bizarre video shows millions of snails taking over a popular beach in St. Petersburg Florida. The entire length of the beach is covered in what looks like black rocks, but are in fact cerith snails. The filmer wrote online: 'I grew up in Florida and have spent most of my life on the water. I have never seen or heard of this happening before.' The video only shows about one-quarter of the total invasion of snails.  Cerith snails don't often come onto land. They are usually found on sandy bottoms, flat reefs, or coral rock in warm and temperate areas."

Note: Maybe there's 'something' in the water they don't like...

2017-11-19 - Hundreds of cattle dying from unknown cause in Ganjam (India):
http://www.orissapost.com/hundreds-of-cattle-dead-locals-suspect-epidemic/

Quote: "An unknown epidemic has caused the death of hundreds of cattle at Gumabirsinghur village under this block in Ganjam district. 'There have been no visible symptoms. The cattle are found dead everywhere in forest, riverside, canals, hills and farmlands in the village. This condition has been occurring for the last three days,' locals said."

Quote: "On the orders of sub-collector, a team from Nuapada veterinary department reached the village and took stock of the situation. 'Due to lack of a permanent cowshed, the cattle have been surviving under rain that is causing the death,' Nuapada veterinary doctor Subhasish Mallick said."

Note: So rain is knocking them dead? That actually wouldn't be very surprising. In late 2015, 41 children and some animals died after rainfall in Papua (Indonesia), mentioned in the 2015-11-24 update...
