Australia's mammals are at risk of bird flu. This is what we know

Native Australian mammals and marsupials are facing an unexpected threat as a deadly strain of bird flu spreads. Unlike birds, which are typically the primary victims, researchers are now warning that these native species could also be at risk. Efforts are underway to study the potential impact and develop protective measures to safeguard these unique animals. This development is crucial because the health of these species is vital to the ecosystem's balance, and their decline could have cascading effects on the environment.
