Mass Animal Deaths Being Reported Again...continuously.

Solar storms and mass animal deaths – the connection
Birds, fish, and sea life across the world have been dying in huge numbers over the last 2 years. Over 100,000 drum fish washed ashore in Arkansas; other sea life also are littering our shores; thousands of birds have fallen from the skies all over the world. Why? Arguably, increased solar activity coupled with a hole in the earth’s magnetosphere could be the cause. Current scientific knowledge informs us that birds and fish use the earth’s magnetic field during migrations. The magnetosphere is the area around a planet in which that planet’s magnetic force is the dominant pressure. Earth is protected from the majority of solar radiation...

The magnetosphere is the area around a planet in which that planet’s magnetic force is the dominant pressure. Earth is protected from the majority of solar radiation and storms by its magnetosphere, but not entirely.

In 2008 NASA detected a massive breach in the magnetosphere, allowing solar winds to penetrate and cause enormous geomagnetic storms. It is known that solar storms bombard our planet with highly charged particles that can affect the pineal gland in humans. The British Medical Journal has published findings that support the proposition that damage to the gland can cause humans to have a diminished sense of direction. Comparing the pineal gland in humans to that of the same gland in birds raised an interesting question. In humans the gland weighs 2.0 grams and equates to less than 1% of the brain’s total weight, whereas the pigeons pineal gland weighed 1.5 grams, 10% of the weight of their brain. While the pineal gland gives us our general sense of direction as iron rich blood flows through and drawn towards the magnetic north, the increased size in the pigeons likely indicate a greater sensitivity to the magnetosphere.
Migratory animals across the planet make use of magnetoaxis — the ability to detect the magnetosphere. Recently it was discovered that birds can see the magnetic field through photoreceptors in their eyes. This allows them to orient themselves during migratory flights. A massive breach in the magnetosphere detected by NASA in 2008 permitted solar winds to generate enormous geomagnetic storms. Geomagnetic disturbances caused by the sun’s increased activity are likely impacting birds and fish.
Science Daily recently reported that creatures such as crabs, sharks, salmon, starfish and dolphins also possibly use the magnetic field for a second purpose beyond migration — to detect prey. “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal found that tiny iron-rich cells called magnetite embedded in the nasal passages of rainbow trout were 100 times more powerful than previously thought, and essentially acted as tiny compass needles inside the animal’s sensory system.”
The recent death of more than 40,000 crabs, starfish, lobsters, and anemones in England highlights the biological effects of a disturbed magnetosphere. The fact that migratory creatures across the world rely on the magnetosphere as a map is indisputable. As we approach maximum solar wind activity, many more opportunities will be presented to study the effects that the changing magnetosphere may be having on our biology as well as that of other creatures on our planet.

Sinai sea turtle mass deaths shrouded in mystery

“The number of deaths is really huge, one of the biggest recorded in Egypt, and the thing that's concerning us the most is that the early tests haven't shown any obvious answers whether the deaths are caused by water intoxication, increased salinity or another reason,” Ali said.

Sea turtles are one of the Earth's most ancient creatures.

Scores of endangered turtles killed in Egypt

Decapitated and battered turtles washed up on the shores of a lake in northern Egypt has environmental groups and governmental teams looking for answers.

Over 80 sea turtles, mostly endangered green sea turtles or loggerheads, washed up on the shore of Lake Bardawil in October. Some of the turtles were found decapitated or had their heads crushed by blunt objects. Some turtles were found sick with suspected poisoning.

"We realized that the 84 dead turtles were counted in a small area, not even in the entire lake. The number of dead turtles might be well higher than that," says Noor Noor, executive director of Nature Conservation Egypt, an environmental non-government organization, and one of several independent groups that has visited the lake to find out more about the reported deaths.


60 Pilot Whales & 20 Bottlenose Dolphins Beached

60 Pilot Whales & 20 Bottlenose Dolphins Beached
























More animals have again stranded themselves on an island off Tasmania’s north-west coast, a day after about 80 whales and dolphins beached themselves there. Yesterday 60 pilot whales and 20 bottlenose dolphins were found on New Years Island, just a day after 13 other dolphins beached in Quarantine Bay on nearby King Island. Of the mammals beached on New Years Island, crews saved six dolphins and just two whales. Eight of the dolphins that beached on King Island were able to be saved...
...“It’s not that common to get that stranding of both pilot whales and bottlenose dolphins but it did happen at the last stranding on King Island which is quite interesting,” she said.
