Mass death of sea lions from bird flu suggests virus may be spreading between mammals in the wild
Hundreds of dead or dying sea lions have washed up on the beaches of Peru since January. Before dying, the animals – majestic carnivores that can weigh up to 350 kilos – had been suffering from agonizing convulsions and struggling to swim. Nothing like this had ever been observed in the region. A scientific team of Peruvian and Argentine researchers has now confirmed that the mass mortality of the sea lions is due to the A(H5N1) bird flu virus, which has jumped from seabirds to these wild mammals.
