    More than 13,000 southern elephant seal pups have died on Australia's subantarctic Heard Island due to the spread of the H5N1 bird flu. Testing confirmed the virus's presence among penguins, seals, and petrels on the island, with government scientists observing the mass mortality through drone and ground surveys in October 2025 and January 2026.
