Cold kills more than 6 million fish, thousands of alligators, dolphins in Bolivia BoliviaBella.com 08/08/2010	World Bank tried to 'blackmail' Bolivia - Morales Louis Charbonneau Reuters 04/22/2009
Over 6 million fish and thousands of alligators, turtles, dolphins and other river wildlife are floating dead in numerous Bolivian rivers in the three eastern/southern departments of Santa Cruz, Beni and Tarija. The extreme cold front that hit Bolivia in mid-July caused water temperatures to dip below the minimum temperatures river life can tolerate.
