Animals affected by BP oil spill

As you all know this year the oceans were damaged wit h large amounts of oil from when the BP oils companies tank burst and leaked large amounts of the oil into out oceans.  When that oil leaked into the ocean it hurt and killed a lot of animals on and off of land.  
Dolphins got badly hurt when the oil leaked into their habitats, which is the shallow part of the ocean.  Some of the dolphins also lost their eye sight from the oil getting into their eyes.  It caused mother dolphins to lose her babies cause she lost her eye sight and could not find her child.

Young Heron also died from the spill, they got stuck in the muck on the beaches and could not get out.  They lost their mothers who quickly left once the oil had gotten there.The oil got in the babies feathers and made it so he or she could not fly any where.  The toxic smell of the oil got in its respiratory system and shut the poor little bird down.

One other sea animal that got hurt or killed for the horrendous oil spill is, sea turtles.  Their habitat in either areas in the ocean or on the beaches.  A lot of oil was also found on the beaches, and with the finding of the oil on the beach, they found sea  turtles struggling to keep their lives.  The oil was just to much for them and they were not able to go anywhere else to get rid of it.
Because of BPs oil spill a lot of the animals that we have living in the oceans have died.  That is a reason for animals soon becoming instinct.  We have to try out hardest to keep the ocean and the beaches clean of other pollution's, these animals can’t take it anymore.  If you see a hurt animal at the beach, call the local animal rescue.  Don't just walk away from it, the animals matter to.
