Toxic Mercury Contaminating More Species, Report Shows
Mercury pollution from power plants and other industrial sources has accumulated in fish, birds, mammals and reptiles across the country, and only cuts in emissions can curtail the contamination, says a report released Tuesday by a national environmental group.
The report is the first major compilation of studies investigating mercury buildup in such wildlife as California clapper rails, Maine’s bald eagles, Canadian loons and Florida panthers. In all, scientists working with the National Wildlife Federation found 65 studies showing troublesome mercury levels in 40 species.

The ‘Crocodile Saver’

Still, it reflects a truth about our ocean planet: that almost every creature of the sea has some kind of built-in mechanism or tool with which to defend itself, be it camouflage, shell, spine, tooth, stinger, venom or toxin.
