Multiple pilot whales have become stranded on the western coast of Australia, prompting wildlife authorities to launch a rescue operation. Officials urge the public to refrain from attempting self-rescues to prevent further distress to the animals and potential harm to themselves.
Up to 100 pilot whales have beached themselves at Toby’s Inlet near Dunsborough, prompting wildlife authorities to launch an urgent rescue operation. Authorities prioritize human safety and animal welfare, urging the public to follow their instructions.
Between 50 and 100 pilot whales have beached themselves at Toby’s Inlet near Dunsborough, more than 250km south of Perth, on Thursday. Wildlife authorities and volunteers are at the scene to try to save the creatures. The last mass stranding of whales in Western Australia was at Cheynes Beach in Albany in July 2023, where at least 90 of the mammals died.
