Over 100 Pilot Whales Rescued After Stranding on Australian Coast, Dozens Dead

Efforts to save the stranded whales at Toby's Inlet were partially successful, with many returned to sea but significant fatalities reported.

More than 100 long-finned pilot whales were successfully returned to the sea following a mass stranding on the Western Australian coast.
At least 31 of the stranded whales have died, with ongoing efforts to prevent further fatalities.
Volunteers and wildlife officials worked together in a large-scale rescue operation near the town of Dunsborough.
The causes of such mass strandings remain unclear, though theories include navigational errors due to underwater noise or following a sick leader ashore.
Continuous monitoring is underway to ensure that the rescued whales do not return to shore, posing ongoing challenges for conservation efforts.
