I would expect them to fall close to the cliff and sustain injuries on the way down, and to stagger off on broken legs at the bottom. Maybe it's an attempt at an insurance scam?<br /><br />Or maybe they've selected the least gruesome photos for the article...Minnesotastanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382888179579245181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-8518678739407986042009-08-28T14:30:05.591-05:002009-08-28T14:30:05.591-05:00Thanks, Vivi!

Doesn't seem mysterious at all to me that they died. What's mysterious is that they plunged. So to speak.<br /><br />Another, fascinating, historical site about ancient hunting by driving animals (wild buffalo, in this case) over cliffs can be seen in person in Alberta, Canada at the Head-Smashed-In-Buffalo-Jump Interpretive Centre. Well worth a visit in person, but there also appears to be a website. <br />http://www.head-smashed-in.com/<br /><br />Love your blog, by the way.Vivihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10475433990354514332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4912713243046142041.post-3604489188202749052009-08-28T14:02:41.529-05:002009-08-28T14:02:41.529-05:00Another explanation is that it could simply be a h...Another explanation is that it could simply be a hoax. <br /><br />It seems a little strange that there's no blood, scrapes, or wounds visible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
