warning is lifted. People should wear gloves, masks and other protective
equipment when handling any dead bird or a dolphin.

that die due to viruses. Similar virus epidemic in Peru was once endemic in the
past. The virus is killing the animals on the coast of Peru, Mexico and the
United States.

currents that cause many fish away from the coastline. So that the birds did
not get any food at all.
