One study that I would like to see done is on the downstream transport of
Wildebeast corpses.  Are the accumulations of corpses in river eddies
usually associated with only one particular herd, or are individuals from
different (and geographically separate) herds represented at each
depositional site?

And does a Wildebeast's corpse float in a river longer than, say, a
Gemsbock's corpse? (a corollary to Bloat and Float).  Could this fluvial
phenomenon (if it actually exists) segregate corpses with respect to
species?
