Nearly 200 pilot whales have died in a mass stranding on the shores of Australia's island state of Tasmania as rescuers worked Thursday to save the 35 whales still alive.
On Thursday morning, marine rescue teams found that only 35 of the whales survived the night, Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service manager Brendon Clark said.
"Of the 35 that were remaining alive this morning, we’ve managed to refloat, rescue and release … 32 of those animals, and so that’s a terrific result," Clark told reporters late Thursday at nearby Strahan.
