The Mysterious Death Of Starfish
In 2015, on Moreton Island in southeast Queensland, tour guide "Ericsen-Miller" saw hundreds of starfish lying dead on the shore. Ericsen said while this scene on the beach was heartbreaking to watch, on the other hand, it was truly a wonderful thing to see so many starfish in such numbers at once. Seeing such a situation, he started throwing the surviving starfish back into the sea, but he quickly realized it was impossible to do so in such numbers. According to him, this was a very rare natural phenomenon and it had never happened before. No one knows the exact reason behind this, but the theory of "Kathy Townsend", a marine biologist from the University of Queensland, seems to be closest to the truth. According to Kathy, it could have been a case that when starfish tend to gather together for mating, and suddenly the conditions changed, such as the water temperature changing more rapidly and the strong wind starts blowing may cause this condition to occur. But many researchers still consider this phenomenon a mystery.

Seafood Rain
You may have heard about different types of rains, like the red rain that hit Kerala in 2001, and a downpour of fish in the same city in 2008. But in June 2018, a strange incident happened in China when aquatic creatures like octopus, starfish, shellfish, and shrimp started falling on vehicles and roads in the form of rain in Shandong Province. Such a scene was never seen earlier. People named it seafood rain and its pictures became viral on the internet. As strange this incident was, a very simple explanation came from the Chinese Meteorological Administration that a strong and fierce storm gave birth to a waterspout, through which these creatures were lifted out of the Yellow Sea and rained down on the city.
