What is the biggest oil spill and why?
Right now the Gulf of Mexico (Gulfo de México) is the worlds largest oil spill because of a big oil ship exploding from high pressure. The ship dumped tons of oil into the ocean killing all the marine life and putting lots of animals in care units. The oil killed lots of birds who depended on the fish in the ocean, but when the oil spill happened the oil was carried through the fishes bodies. Thus when the birds like pelicans and seagulls ate them, they immediately got poisoned from the oil inside the fish.
