Wildlife experts said the unusual behavior of the whales could be an indicator of stress or illness within the pod. 🐋
Nearly 100 pilot whales stranded themselves on a beach in western Australia Tuesday, and about half had died by Wednesday morning, despite the efforts of wildlife experts and volunteers to save them.
As the day progressed, the pod began moving closer to the beach, sparking the concern of conservation officers. By 4 p.m., a large stretch of the shoreline was covered in beached whales. Peter Hartley, a manager from the department, said they had counted 51 whales that had died overnight.
