Ac cord ing to the tra di tional view, the La Brea Tar Pits were pools of en trap ment for un wary an i mals. This view fails to ac count for a va ri ety of anom a lies, in clud ing the disarticulation and in ter min gling of skel e tal parts, the lack of teeth marks on her bi vore bones, the ab sence of soft tis sues, the in verse ra tio of car ni vores to her bi vores, the nu mer i cal su pe ri or ity of wa ter bee tles among in sect spe cies, and wa ter sat u ra tion of wood de bris.

These con sid er ations pro vide strong confirmation for the young Earth-Flood model of geologic history.
