Goose dead of suspected bird flu in U.S. Seattle zoo

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15 (Xinhua) -- A red-breasted goose at Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, U.S. state of Washington, died earlier this week from a suspected case of bird flu, the zoo said.

Pending confirmatory testing, this would mark Woodland Park Zoo's first case of bird flu. The flu could pose some threat to mammals, but the risk to humans is low, the zoo said.
