Still Waters Posted March 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Only six whales have survived a mass stranding of pilot whales on the coast of Western Australia. About 150 of the animals were found beached at Hamelin Bay, about 300km (180 miles) south of Perth. Their discovery by a local fisherman on Friday prompted a major rescue effort to return them to deeper waters. However, by nightfall, more than 140 of the whales had died, with deteriorating weather conditions and the threat of frenzied sharks impeding efforts. More than 100 volunteers, wildlife personnel and others came to the aid of the beached pilot whales, a species known to strand en masse. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-43519439 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
