‘Zombie Deer Disease’ May Infect Humans, Scientists Fear

WARNING: SOME IMAGES MAY BE DISTURBING In 24 states, elk, deer, and moose have been seen to exhibit “zombie-like” behavior. They dramatically lose weight, drool, stumble around, and act aggressively towards humans seemingly without fear. Though people have dubbed this disease “Zombie Deer Disease” it’s actually called, Chronic Wasting Disease or CWD The illness attacks the animal’s neurological system causing them to basically starve to death. With the number of cases rising across the United States, scientists fear that inevitably the disease will “jump” to the human species; this is known as “Cross-Species Transmission”, where a disease that originates in an Animal is spread outside their species. The disease resembles Bovine spongiform encephalopathy “Mad Cow Disease” but once the meat of an infected cow was consumed by a human it becomes Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease or CJD. In all cases CWD, Mad Cow, and CJD are fatal due to Prions, “misfolded” protein cells that once present in the neurological system, causes rapid

Oh Deer! Buck Carrying Severed Head Of Another Shot

WARNING: The following images may be disturbing to some It’s that time of year where many hunters enjoy the seasonal window to go out and hunt deer. As is the tradition with the hunting season comes to the stories about the ones that got away, past trophies, and seeing strange things while out in the woods. Bob Long of Kentucky, hands down, won with a super rare and disturbing kill this past week. Long bagged himself a buck, not just any buck, a two-headed one. Sounds like a freak of nature right? Well… turns out the second head, whose rack (antlers) was tangled in the rack of the shot buck and the second head does not “belong” to the animal! Yes, the decomposing head on the harvested male belonged to another buck! The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife believe it’s possible that the second deer was already dead and decomposing when the then-living buck encountered it, the buck possibly

Mind-Blowing Study Showed Victims Of Vesuvius May Have Died More Violently Than Originally Thought.

In 1981 an excavation in the ancient city of Herculaneum’s waterfront uncovered the remains of victims of the Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79AD. The skeletal remains of 55 Roman citizens (30 men, 13 women, 12 children) were located in vacant boathouses on a small beach with a waterway leading out to sea. With the absence of (functional) boats on site led to the theory that this was the site of an evacuation. Originally it’s been accepted that these individuals died from suffocation due to the Pyroclastic flow from Mount Vesuvius, because of the skeletal state of the remains, it made it easier to examine possible causes of death unlike the famous ghostly remains of the victims of the city of Pompeii. A recent study published in the scientific journal PLOS ONE offers a disturbing hypothesis, the 55 victims in the boathouses of Herculaneum’s waterfront died as a result of their blood boiling to the point it made their heads “explode”.
