This is awful. 😭💔
Thousands of penguins could be wiped out across Antarctica as the continent braces for the arrival of bird flu, experts fear.
In an exclusive interview with the Telegraph, the head of polar regions for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office warned that the infection, which has killed millions of birds across the globe over the past year, will have deadly consequences once it reaches the region.
“It could be absolutely devastating,” said Dr Jane Rumble, OBE. “We’re saying when, not if.”
Poor things
It really sucks. :( I think Australia will soon be the only continent it hasn’t spread to (yet).
