130 whales die after stranding on beach
Two groups of long-finned pilot whales beached themselves near Marion Bay on the southern island state of Tasmania early on Tuesday, according to Liz Wren, a spokeswoman for the stateās parks and wildlife service. Nearly 60 whales died and about 10 were rescued, she said.
A third pod of whales began beaching at dusk on Tuesday. āIt was a new pod because the ones that were returned yesterday were tagged so we know that they didnāt re-strand,ā Ms Wren said.
