· THERE'S been another inexplicable case of dead animals with dozens of dead fish washing up on a New Zealand beach.

· Auckland resident James Hughes spotted the snapper floating close to shore after children rushed up to him and his friends holding some of the dead fish, NZPA reports.

It comes after several instances of thousands of birds dropping dead out of the sky in the US this week.
