Following a huge stranding in Australia, several whales will be put to death.

About 90 fake killer whales that survived a huge stranding on a remote Tasmanian beach are being put down by Australian authorities. Complex conditions have rendered it impossible to save them, according to a team of experts at the spot. They are among 157 whales that landed close to Arthur River in the northwest of the island. Shortly after the stranding, the others had perished. False killer whales haven't mass stranded in Tasmania in for than 50 years, despite a string of mass whale strandings in recent years, including the worst the nation has ever experienced in 2020.Like their orca namesakes, false killer whales are officially among the largest dolphin species in the world. They can reach a height of 6 meters (19 feet) and a weight of 1.5 tons.

The pod had been stuck in the location for 24 to 48 hours, according to authorities on Wednesday, and the remaining animals were already under a great deal of stress. Jocelyn Flint, a local, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that she had visited the location on Wednesday morning after her son, who was shark fishing the previous evening, spotted the pod. "There are infants... They only exist in families. "They're looking at me with open eyes and a 'help' expression.""It's just absolutely horrific." Marine biologist Kris Carlyon informed the media that it is quite difficult to get to the location, which is roughly 300 kilometers (186 miles) from Launceston, and to bring any rescue equipment there. "This is possibly the trickiest location I've seen in 16 years of doing this role in Tasmania," he stated. "We're talking about a single-lane, extremely steep, and difficult road leading to the location. Four-wheel drives can be installed there, but not much else.
