More than half of the 90-plus pilot whales that became stranded on a beach in Western Australia have died. Those that remain were released back into the ocean, but have since become re-stranded further down the beach.
Dozens of pilot whales have died in Western Australia after a large pod became stranded on a beach Tuesday. Out of the more than 90 whales that were stranded, more than half have died as officials race to save the remaining animals.
"What's happening right now," the Cheynes Beach Caravan Park posted on Facebook."...We don't know! But look at this pod of whales only 100m off the beach." The Parks and Wildlife Service quickly responded, but by 8:15 a.m. local time on Wednesday, the agency said that 51 whales had died. Roughly 45 pilot whales remained alive, and video from the agency shows dozens of staff members and volunteers standing with the animals in the water as they prepared to lead them out to sea.
