Fox News
Hundreds of volunteers have joined the rescue effort for nearly 100 pilot whales that have unexplainably stranded themselves on an Australian shoreline.
Environmental experts are not sure why the phenomenon occurs, despite hundreds of whales beaching themselves just last year.
The current beached pod of whales was first spotted Tuesday morning swimming off the coast of Albany. As the day progressed, the pod moved closer to the beach, sparking concern of conservation officers. By 4 p.m., the pod covered the shoreline.
