30 Sep 2024: 856 Repeatedly Returns to Where 402's Body Lies (explore.org)

For those who may not know, 402 was tragically killed in the lake by 469 on the 30th. I couldn't bring myself to watch or record it. Mike, Naomi, and Sarah discussed the incident on the live chat channel if you want to go back and view it. www.youtube.co...
469 moved 402's body to the beach just out of sight of the cams and created a cache. The cache was quickly taken over by 32.
On three separate occasions I caught 856 approaching the spot. It hasn't been like him to challenge 32 this season and you can see that he was forced back at least once. I don't know if he was drawn to the smell of 402 in particular or just to her body as a food source. He and 402 had a long history, so I like to think it was the former.
