If i'm being completely honest I would be in favor of redrawing state borders such that no state is in multiple time zones.

There are over 10,000 Kansan's who are going to wake up tomorrow in Colorado.

So we’re just ok with not having a real focal point of reference for what starts and ends a quadrant?

Goats, Moutain Lions, and Bison in Black Hills.

for such an enormous population, the Texas rate is staggering. rattlesnakes? cows?

that ratio works out to roughly 1 death (per year?)

it turns out it's rabies. maybe that michael scott fun run was not so silly

[mocat]

this is cumulative deaths by animal since 1970. i would think more than 2 people have been accidentally killed by a cow somewhere in north america since 1970.

[mocat]

could be that almost all cow deaths go unreported

well, I mean, I can name 1 person who has. I think they are excluding domestic animals.

[steve dave]

that black bear number is shockingly high. they are like glorified raccoons.

[mocat]

oh yeah duh. in the mocat system if a cow kills you then that cow gets reclassified as wild and then also released into the wild

Wild hogs, brother.

[MakeItRain]

I guarantee most of these deaths are either mosquitos or something causing anaphylaxis.
