    Dead penguins found on Uruguayan beaches

    Uruguayan authorities ruled out bird flu but still cautioned the population not to handle the dead animals because the health alert remains in force

    Uruguayan researchers have reported the finding of some 300 dead Magellanic penguins on local beaches, the NGO SOS Rescate Fauna Marina confirmed. The birds were said to be extremely thin and might have died due to cold weather on their annual migration from Argentine Patagonia to southern Brazil in search of food and warmer weather.
