Question

animal and bird living in the oil contaminated water are harmed​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Oil destroys the insulating ability of fur-bearing mammals, such as sea otters, and the water repellency of a bird's feathers, thus exposing these creatures to the harsh elements. Without the ability to repel water and insulate from the cold water, birds and mammals will die from hypothermia. HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT
