Of the 157 washed -out sea mammals, approximately 90 still shows signs of life.
More than 150 black killer whales are stuck on a remote beach on the northwest coast of the Australian Island of Tasmania. This was announced at night at Wednesday’s Ministry of the Environment. TASR reports according to AP.
According to the ministry from a total of 157 washed -out sea mammals, approximately 90 has yet to show signs of life. Black killer whales are sometimes referred to as black dolphins.
Strong surf and waves make the return of irises back to the sea challenging
Experts, including veterinarians trying to determine the next procedure, intervene. The work is complicated by the poor accessibility of the beach near Stanley and the supply of the necessary specialized equipment. There is also a strong surf and waves in the area, for which it is difficult to try to return the killer whales back into the sea.
The killer whales were discovered on the beach on Tuesday afternoon local time and apparently it was one bunch of these mammals. The helicopter did not discover another group of killer whales during the exploratory flight. In Tasmania, this is the first case of stranding of irises of this kind since 1974. Usually, similar cases occur rather in the case of balls (dolphins of long).
