When oil is spilt it gets on animal of all kinds, they breath it and drink it in their water. The small food plants or small animals that larger animals eat get covered in it, then become sick, and then they are eaten by larger animals. Any animal hunting or trying to feed around it will become covered and can drown, or suffocate They can be blinded, their lungs damaged, and if they ingest too much their internal organs will not recover even if they are rescued. There are organizations that try to help save animals from such spills. But oil spills have devastating effects on the animals that come in contact with it, plus the environment suffers too.
