  1. RE: flipboard.social/@fedifind/117

    Hundreds of #dead southern #rightwhale #calves washed ashore in #Patagonia (#Argentina). Researchers suspect an #erysipelas #infection as the cause, may be triggered by the marine #bacterium #Erysipelothrix #rhusiopathiae. Ecological factors, changes in #seabirdbehavior, and #environmentalstress may have played a role. #Kelpgulls have developed the #behavior of #pecking at the #skin of whales while they breathe, creating an entry point for the bacteria.
