In the thirteen years I've worked in Tarboro, NC, squirrels were found to be responsible for two city-wide power outages. Brings a whole new meaning to "fried" squirrel...

Funny you should mention a snake! I was stationed on Guam in the late 70's when a wayward snake crawled across a distribution buss, tripping the load fault sensors and knocked the Cabras Island power plant off line - caused a major island-wide power outage.

Victor,
In the past 13 years I had the opportunity to document three creature caused failures of telecommunication products. I've attached photographs of the three creatures (snake, ant, and gecko) and have copied Steve in hopes that he will post the photos for others to see. We believe the creatures were alive when they caused a short-circuited and failed the electronics and died by electrocution. We know this might be viewed as cruel and unusually punishment by some but we viewed the creatures were trespassing. Our customers weren't upset at what happened to the creatures but they were glad that we were able to identify the root cause for the failures.
Regards,
George

Fellow TechNetters:
Can the remains of Insects/Bugs skeletal on the surface of a motherboard cause a functional failure before they died?
Victor,
