Penguins vaccinated as bird flu threatens wildlife
A second long-nosed fur seal has been found dead from bird flu on a small island near Kangaroo Island, South Australia, raising concerns about an "extinction-level" event for endangered sea lions. Wildlife officers at Phillip Island are conducting a world-first mass vaccination program for little penguins, with over 1,000 birds already vaccinated in the first week.
