Final Whale Dies in Mass Stranding

The last survivor among a group of 45 sperm whales that became stranded on a remote Australian sandbar died Sunday, ending a long and disappointing rescue effort.

The whales became stuck on a sandbar just off the island state of Tasmania’s northwest coast on Thursday. Officials who rushed to the site to help survivors found only seven alive, and began pouring water over the semi-submerged mammals to keep them cool as they tried to devise a plan to free them.

But survivor numbers dwindled each day. The last one, which had hung on for more than three days but was hemmed in behind the bodies of others in the pod, died Sunday afternoon.

Right Whale, Wrong Canal

An Atlantic right whale swam into the Cape Cod Canal yesterday, stopping canal traffic for two hours.

The whale was initially spotted around 9:30 a.m. and the canal was closed at 1 p.m. and then reopened at 3 p.m. The 35-foot whale (endangered by the way… only 400 left) was escorted out by the US Army Corps.
