The Latest News from Nigeria and Around the World
This handout photo taken and released by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions on April 25, 2024 shows pilot whales stranded at Toby’s Inlet near Dunsborough in Western Australia. Marine biologists raced Thursday to save more than 100 pilot whales after a mass stranding on an Australian beach, with officials fearing many will have to be euthanised.
“A team of experienced staff including wildlife officers, marine scientists, veterinarians are on site or on their way,” the Parks and Wildlife Service said in a statement.But the service said that “these events usually result in the beached animals having to be euthanised as the most humane outcome”.Scientists do not fully understand why mass strandings occur, but some researchers think pods go off track after feeding too close to shore.
Pilot whales — which can grow to more than six metres long — are highly sociable, so they may follow pod-mates who stray into danger.
