   We have a lot of mastodons that have been frozen in place and in the tar   
   pits.   Animals in general die from a lot of mistakes.   They understand   
   their environment, but not perfectly.   
      
   A good example is squirrels that when they are in danger crunch up to a   
   surface or tree to keep from being seen by hawks, etc.  They also do the   
   same thing on the road when they see a car coming.   
      
   Bad mistakes = flat squirrels
