Three years ago , 12,000 rarefied and endangered antelope carcasses were mysteriously found in Kazakhstan . Nobody knew what bechance to them . Exactly one yr later , people find 450 Modern dead body . No causes were found . Now , they have find oneself another 1,000 corps and nobody knows what is killing them yet .
But some scientist call back they know the answer : a ballistic capsule kill them all .
According to ecologist Musagali Duambekov , the suit of the death of these antelope — called saigas — may be the chemical substance from launching at the Baikonur space - launch website in central Kazakhstan :
My personal view is that it is connected with human activity [ and ] that it is due to an anthropogenetic factor . It could be from chemical elements leave behind from quad rockets that fly over this place , or from other chemical substance factor , such as the wide use of fertilizers , which are very harmful .
These ones were incur near the website of a late Soyuz landing , which may suggest a possible connection . However , other scientists do n’t have it so readable yet . official at the Qostanai Oblast ’s Department of Forestry and Hunting are still look for a drive . They do n’t rule out the ballistic capsule chemicals , but it may be something else .
The Chairwoman of the Saiga Conservation Alliance , researcher Eleanor Milner - Gulland , declare that it may just be a digestive disorder triggered by forage that is too rich and wet :
What take place is that the females give nativity and they are under great nutritionary stress because they ’re farm milk and they ’ve just given birth . So they attempt out very rich pasture and that ’s why the female are particularly suffering . And then the babies incline to die later from starvation .
However , they are not prevail out a possible radio link to chemical substance yet .
Thesaiga is a eldritch antelopeliving in the Kazakhstan steppe , near the Urals , and a small area of Russia . It used to live in North America too , during the Pleistocene . They are critically endangered . [ Radio Free EuropeandDaily Mail ]
