Fox contracts bird flu in South Australia
A red fox found in sand dunes at Osborne, South Australia, is among five new suspected bird flu cases, potentially marking the first land animal to contract the virus in the region. Authorities believe the fox contracted the virus by picking up a sick or dead seabird in its mouth. Health officials are warning pet owners to keep dogs away from sick or dead birds at beaches and to restrain cats, as the virus can be fatal for felines.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
