Gas Wells Hold Up Deer During Spring Migration
Phys.org | Oct. 6, 2022
Strangely enough, the article doesn’t specify how large these impossible-to-overcome wells were.
Over the study period, dozens of new wells were drilled for coalbed methane extraction in the middle of an existing mule deer corridor. The long-term movement data allowed for a before-after comparison of the effects of expanding development on mule deer movements.
“The deer movements in response to the gas field were unmistakable,” Aikens says.
And so they call it a field.
As development intensity increased over time, the deer began to “hold up” when they reached the natural gas wells. They paused their spring migration and let the wave of green vegetation pass them by, becoming decoupled from their best food resources at a crucial time of the year.
Straight Line of the Day: You Might Be Becoming a Third World Country When…
A guy posted a serious comment on a news website; I figured that Moon Nukers could do a funnier version.

You know you have turned into a third world country when:
When the government uses its police powers to attack political enemies of the regime.
When mobs supporting the socialists destroy billion of dollars worth of private property and are called “mostly peaceful” but a demonstration without violence in opposition to the socialists is called an ”insurrection.”
When the right to speak your opinion is suppressed if your opinion differs from the party line.
When the government is hell bent on disarming you for their own good.
When the government works to destroy the middle class with inflation, taxation, and economic collapse.
When the chief executive of the country calls his political opponents a threat to democracy.
When people defending themselves against violent rioters are prosecuted on trumped up charges, but the violent rioters are portrayed as victims.
I’ll start:

… you start finding mother-loving snakes on every mother-loving plane.
