(AP) The recent deaths of hundreds of ravens along World Drive at the Walt Disney World Resort has prompted Bob Iger CEO of the Walt Disney Company in conjunction with UCF, the University of Central Florida, to conduct a in depth study. UCF well known for their ornithology department was instrumental in the building of Animal Kingdom Parks Aviaries. Over one hundred video Cameras were set up along World Drive and were monitored 24/7 from the Animal Kingdom Park. After many months of surveillance it was revealed that one Raven, an alpha from each family group had the roll of "Sentry Raven". It was the Sentries responsibility to alert the other ravens in the group when danger was approaching. Caught on camera were hundreds of ravens being hit and run over by trucks of all shapes and sizes. To the surprise of everyone conducting the study no ravens were struck or killed by cars. The final conclusion to the study was noted: the Sentry Raven could only say Kaa and not truck.
