Kawoaka told The Times in an interview that the mutations seen in this particular isolate have appeared elsewhere in past outbreaks in birds and mammals, “so in that sense, it’s a very orthodox mutation.”

But it does have a long history of training marine mammals for military purposes.

The mammals had dug a sett under the A52 at Seaholme Road, in the middle of Mablethorpe, according to Lincolnshire County Council.

De St. Maurice said the county routinely monitors and tests symptomatic birds, pets and wild mammals.

Bats, the only flying mammals, provide no-cost pest control by gobbling up insects — including ones that target crops.
