More than 150 dolphins have washed up on a remote beach in Australia’s southern island of Tasmania. Many of them have died after being stranded on the beach, and about 90 animals are unharmed, foreign media reports.
These dolphins are also said to be a large species known as false killer whales. Tasmanian State Wildlife Officer Brendan Clark said it would be difficult to return the unharmed dolphins, which weigh more than a ton, to the deep sea. But he said that he would seek the help of veterinarians and would not give up.
False killer whales are considered common on Australian beaches. It is reported that a pod of dolphins arrived on the coast of that area of Tasmania after 50 years.
