Zombie mice overrun entire island & scalp birds alive as 6 helicopters to drop 550 TONNES of poison to exterminate them
A REMOTE island in the Southern Indian Ocean has been overrun by vicious zombie mice who come out in their droves at night and eat birds alive.
After selecting their victims, the mice perch on the birds heads to gnaw away at their flesh, scalping them alive.Disturbing night vision footage taken on the island shows the zombie mice in action. Using military precision and an enormous effort with a budget of £19.6million, they hope to eradicate the mice entirely.
Angel is one of a group of brave scientists who live and research on the island for sometimes up to a year at a time, and who dubbed them "zombie mice".She can tell which albatross have been attacked overnight before she even gets close to them. While the creatures on Marion Island used to coexist quite peacefully, as temperatures warmed in the 2000s more mice survived the winter.In their desperation for food the animals started to attack both adult and baby albatross as they rested.
