State officials are investigating why thousands of fish washed up dead on the shores of the Arkansas River last week.

Officials are expected to release their estimate of the total number of dead fish Monday, local NBC station KARK 4 News reported. It is likely to be in the hundreds of thousands.

The fish were found Thursday by a tugboat operator along a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River near the city of Ozark.

Patrick told me they found about 120 dead birds about a half an hour from here. They've been dead for five days so they couldn't do any toxicology tests on them.

Google is now mapping the incidents of mass animal deaths around the world. Google Maps' distinctive blue balloons indicate where the deaths took place. Click on a balloon, and Google will provide you with a link to a news report on the incident.

..

As of Friday afternoon, there were about 30 cases pinpointed on the search engine's mapping site, most of them in the U.S. and Europe.

...

It cites a Time magazine article that details several strange mass animal deaths and wonders "if the internet age allows us to connect the dots where there are none to be connected."

...

"Until the sky turns red and there's a plague of locusts, this event is not that unusual," Sleeman said of the blackbirds.
