In particular, 35 penguins were killed in the Falkland Islands on January 19 on the Falkland Islands on January 19 on January 19. SCAR employee, veterinarian Ralph Vanstins came to this conclusion, taking samples from two dead penguins.
The representative of the Falkland Islands Sally Hitman noted that more penguins died due to the bird flu virus.
as of January 30, reports of more than 200 dead or dying cubs of penguins.
Hitman noted that the virus has not yet been discovered from other local penguins, but samples have been taken from Penguins like Rockhopper (northern crested penguin).
Researchers are concerned that penguins moving from the Falkland Islands to Antarctica can spread the virus among giant penguins.
