MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

“Tens of thousands of shrimp kept jumping out of Yanwu Lake in the early morning of Thursday as if they were trying to commit suicide, and most of them were found dead in the lake by midday for unknown reasons, reports fj.qq.com.

“When I went past Yanwu Lake at about 6:40am, thousands of shrimps were jumping out of the lake and even onto the lakeshore. However, the phenomenon didn’t last long as the shrimp died soon afterwards”, said Mr. Xu, a secuity guard of a nearby building.

Upon spotting so many shrimp jumping out of the lake, many residents living in the neighborhood rushed to fish out the dead shrimp.

According to experts, the water in Yanwu Lake is probably polluted, and oxygen contained in the water is not adequate for the shrimp to breath. As a result, most of them jumped out of the lake and died soon.

Experts also suggest that these shrimp are not suitable for eating as the reasons that lead to the shrimps’ suicidal event are still unknown at present.”  Source.
