Up to 90 whales have died and a 180 more are still stranded in a remote bay in southern Australia.

Up to 90 whales have died and a 180 more are still stranded in a remote bay in southern Australia as a"challenging" rescue operation began Tuesday. Government marine biologist Kris Carlyon said"about a third" of the animals were dead by late Monday and rescuing survivors would be"challenging" task likely to take several days.

"In terms of mass whale strandings in Tasmania, this is up there with the trickiest," Carlyon told reporters in the nearby town of Strahan. Carlyon said rescuers would still have to"triage" the whales, prioritising the healthiest and most accessible.
