the oil killed quite alot of animals especially fish because the got alot of oil in their gills wich they breath through also animals such as sea otters couldn't feed because theire favorite was sea porcupines wich are just like spikey balls that are purple well they couldn't get those since they live on the sea floor it was hard for the sea otters to see and alot of times dried up spikey oil clumps were mistaken for the sea porcupines and sea otters just fed on those
