A contaminated cormorant leaves from an oil slick caused by the rupture of an undersea oil pipeline from Chile's state company ENAP on San Vicente bay near the city of Concepcion, some 510 kms (316 miles) south of Santiago May 31, 2007. The spill, which is estimated at over 2,000 barrels of oil, has seriously affected at least one community of sea dogs and caused the deaths of different species of birds. [Reuters]
