You've got your deer or wildebeest or mammoth or whatever it is waist deep in tar and going, I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm making horrible noises.

And, you know, Smelodon walks over and goes, great, and wades out after it.

And he's now stuck.

And then the next one and the next one and the next one and the next one.

And then lo and behold, you now have something like La Brea where they've got like, the numbers are something absurd.

Like, I think they've got like three mammoths and one ground sloth.

And then it's like a hundred direwolves and 40 smelodon because it's just sucking the carnivores in.

Wow.

And you get these really distorted ratios.

Yeah.

I don't think that's the case of the Deinonychus denontosaurus stuff because there's ways that you can probably rule that out.

But there are probably places like this where it's happened.

Again, the other one is the toxin one.

Cleveland Lloyd, so it's just coming up on your screen.

That's another one with loads of dinosaurs.

That's Allosaurus.

But we've definitely seen it with... I think this has come up with something like lions or wolves.

Like they found loads of them dead by a lake and it turned out, or this pond.

And this pond had got some really sort of nasty algal bloom toxin in it.

And the interpretation was the same kind of thing is that a couple of deer were drinking.
