877 Dolphins Dead

In Peru just this year 877 dolphins have washed up on the shore. Environmental authorities are unsure of the reason for the deaths and think that there could have been an outbreak of Morbillivirus or Brucella bacteria. Some of the dead dolphins have been tested for the viruses, but more than 80% we unable to be studied because of how much they had already decomposed. The test results of the other 20% should be ready within the week. It is has been found that the deaths were not caused by a food shortage, fishing, or poisoning. "When you have something this large, my gut would tell me that there's something traumatic that happened," Sue Rocca told CNN, “More investigation needs to be done.”
