## Resource

Bird flu has officially hit Australia, with infected seabirds found in Western and South Australia—raising alarms for native marsupials like Tasmanian devils and quolls, which could be at serious risk if exposed. Conservationists, already bracing for this for two years, fear these species’ fragile immune systems and low genetic diversity could make them vulnerable. While protective measures are underway, including biosecurity at zoos and funding for conservation, the outcome remains uncertain. Australia’s preparedness is strong, but the clock is ticking for these endangered animals. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
