Authorities are racing to avoid wasting a pod of pilot whales which have develop into stranded on a seashore in Western Australia.
The pod of at the very least 60 whales was first noticed about 100 metres off the coast at Cheynes Seashore on Monday night.
Witnesses advised native media that they discovered the sight of whales tightly clustering uncommon. Cheynes Seashore Caravan Park proprietor Joanne Marsh advised ABC Information that she had by no means seen something prefer it within the many years she’s lived within the space.
As soon as the whales started beaching themselves on the shore, wildlife authorities launched an emergency response effort in a bid to avoid wasting them.
Dr Andrew Brownlow, director of the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme who not too long ago responded to the same incident on a Scottish seashore, explains why an incident like this may occasionally have occurred.
He advised the BBC that rescuers are actually in a race towards time to avoid wasting the animals.
