A devastating mass stranding in a remote Australian beach saw 157 false killer whales beached in northwestern Tasmania. Just 90 still survived by the time marine conservation experts were able to access the challenging location, and officials announced Wednesday that all of them will be euthanized after attempts to refloat them were unsuccessful, the Guardian reports. They are believed to have been stranded since Monday or Tuesday. Mass strandings have happened a number of times in Tasmania in recent years, and the island in 2020 saw Australia’s worst-ever mass stranding, the BBC reports.
