A virus has wiped out millions of crickets that were meant to feed pet reptiles and other animals at the zoo. The virus has swept through many European cricket farms back in 2002, but it was first noticed back in 2009 in the U.S. and Canada. Most of the U.S. farms are in the south, suppliers from Pennsylvania and California also raise crickets. This devastating event marks the latest, besides black birds falling from the sky and a mass amount of fish dead at one time. Biologists say these massive die offs happen all the time and are usually unrelated. In the past eight months Geological surveys have kept track off the many wild life die offs. The list off die offs includes 900 turkey vultures that have seemed to drown in the Florida Keys, 20,000 bats have died of rabies and the mysterious death of the 2,750 sea birds in California OKN.
