Cleatus owns a large number of goats and relies on them to make his living. He wakes up one morning to find half of his flock dead in the field. Cleatus cannot see any evidence of a predator and is at a loss as to what happened to his goats. Local scientist Alcmaeon asks if he can take a few of the dead goats with him to attempt to figure it out. How will Alcmaeon MOST likely attempt to solve this mystery of sudden goat death that decimated Cleatus’s flock?
