Player Freewoman, I just read The Elephant Whisperer. Poachers don't like vultures because they signal authorities that there has been a killing.

Jonathan, here, in Canada, we just call them Canada goose or geese. Some people call them hissing cobra chickens though🤣🤣🤣

Jonathan, I’m a Canadian and the correct term is Canada goose
CDanke
brewofqi, Yes that’s correct. It also is named after a person with the last name Canada.

Tinty, it is monetary reality that rules the world more than idealism, unfortunately.

Player: Coco, not many prop planes can even attempt such high altitude as the air gets so thin the lift and thrust are both diminished by this factor.

Player #45887191, As a boy the neighbor was a circuit court judge and raised his own Canada geese in large coops. they drove my mom mad with their honking and squaking at any hour deay of the day/night.

There's another bird species that flies over the Himalayas on there migration. Cranes i think.

why can't we reply to each other's posts, like you could with QuizUp. Can learn even more from each other.

Ozzy, Ivory can't be eaten, and the poachers certainly wouldn't leave thier 'prize' behind.

Player: Coco, I really think the birds would be well aware of a plane close by. Bird strike would probably make the plane crash, not just prop aircraft. A jet engine would ingest the bird, usually catastrophic.

Player Freewoman, It signals that a dead animal is there. the carcass of a dead elephant, killed for it's tusks.
Liisse
Player #24283909, was wondering what the connection was
Player: Coco
Wonder if we lose a lot of them to airplane propellers too (flying that high).

InsidiousFeet27
I found this to be very disturbing. Similar to the ignorance of bears!
Jonathan

Player Freewoman, Kill the vultures to get them out of the way so that the poachers can saw off the ivory tusks because the poachers are in a hurry and afraid of being caught.
