Pod of 55 pilot whales die after being stranded on a beach in Scotland
This handout photo issued by British Divers Marine Life Rescue shows pilot whales in North Tolsta, on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, Sunday, July 16, 2023. A pod of 55 pilot whales have died after they were found washed ashore on a beach in Scotland in the worst mass whale stranding in the area, marine experts said Monday.
The British Divers Marine Life Rescue found that only 15 of the whales — a mixture of adults and calves — were still alive, and attempted to refloat two of the more active animals that were low down in the water. The charity said the whole pod may have followed a female whale onto the beach when she had problems giving birth.
