Kinda funny as a Biology major I have done research on these kinds of things, but they seldom if ever make the news. One of the sadest is when sea turtels see the lights of our homes & cities so hundreds of them go to the land side and not out to sea when they are born. Usually the see the reflection of the moon off the water and go out to sea...not these days.PHOENIX, Arizona (AP) -- More than 30 endangered brown pelicans have crashed onto sidewalks and roads in Arizona, mistaking the heat-induced shimmer of the paved surface for lakes and creeks.
"They try to land on the water, but it's asphalt and it's 'Bam! That doesn't feel so good,"' said Sandy Cate, director of the Arizona Game and Fish Department's wildlife center at Adobe Mountain in north Phoenix.
