Albatross chicks attacked by mice
"Supersize" mice are eating seabird
chicks alive on Gough Island, one of
the most important seabird colonies in
the world, UK conservationists report.
The rodents are taking out one million
petrels, shearwaters and albatrosses
each year on the UK Overseas Territory
in the South Atlantic.
The Royal Society for the Protection of
Birds says the mice infestation puts
some species in danger of extinction.
It hopes to find ways to control or
even eradicate the rodents.
