If it’s jumped species, wouldn’t they also call if Mad GOAT disease?
My bet would be that there was a Frog in the middle of that pile, double dipping from one eyesocket to the other and back and again and again and again. Not a pretty picture, is it? Neither is it so unbelievable, is it?

Other relatives include antelope, camels, deer, giraffes, okapis, pronghorn, and sheep. The deer and the sheep
worry me, altho Mad Cow has had virtually no effect other than panic.
