I like how you know the fish is dead by the “X” on the eye.

“Elk in Kentucky?” They’ve sighted Elk in Tennessee.

And here in N. Georgia.

Why didn’t they drop a camera down there while they were at it?

So that they have a follow-up reason to repeat this experiment and get another grant in 2020...gotta always be thinking about the next grant.

The ocean made the alligator disappear post-haste. Just like anything else dead in the ocean.

a good experiment to try with live demonrats...

That made me laugh and reminded me of something they say in DC. I'll alter it a little to go along with your thought.

The only way to lose a political career in DC is to get caught with a live (underage) girl or a dead democrat. (or a live one)

Doh! Kellyanne Conway is in trouble!

Some of the Tennessee elk probably came from the herd that runs around here...coastal Oregon. They got pretty thick, and they trapped some, and sent them East.

They found Dexter’s victims and murder weapons.

Probably cost next to nothing. These people are out in the gulf anyway doing regular checks of the ecosystem as part of their charter with the state. The people involved are already being paid through other sources. The carcasses were probably provided for free from the DNR.

Strange, I never felt it odd that I could catch crabs using chicken parts.

They did. If you click on the article you'll see several photos and a video taken under water of the alligators.

Seems to me that approaching an elk in the dark on the road in your speeding automobile could be a bigger problem than approaching a deer under similar circumstances.

Well, there’s an Elkton in Todd County, KY. Named for elk?

"Should I apply for a grant to see what happens when you drop dead fish in the desert?"

IMHO, dropping live communists (ie. all registered demoncrats) or migrant invaders into the middle of the Sahara desert would be a more relevant & cost-effective study...

It would be a variation of what President Duterte of the Philippines does from a helicopter with raghead jihadists and drug dealers...

Don’t know who’s idea it was, but I would love to see dead democrat congress critter’s submerged, bet the critter eating fish would clear out.

"Elk in Kentucky?"

They were reintroduced into KY in 1997. KY now has the largest elk herd east of the Mississippi at around 11,000 elk.
