Large numbers of sea lions have been found dead along the Argentinian coast as a result of avian influenza, or bird flu.

This most recent influx of dead sea lions marks another swath of marine mammals dying from the viral infection across South America. The Patagonian environmental authority said in a statement that 50 sea lions have been found dead so far with symptoms matching bird flu.
