The whale is stranded

The Conservation Agency (DOC) announced that 12 group whales were stranded at Golden Bay in the dead South Island area and the rest were in poor health.

DOC Regional Director John Mason said that the whales were stranded during the highest tide at the end of last month and thus reduced their chances of returning them to the sea.

"Usually they are only trapped in an average tidal area, but now they are stuck too deep" - he said - "The next tide will not reach them and we are considering Current options, may help them to die without pain. "

Mass bottlenecks are common in New Zealand and about 100 whales have been stuck in the same area in January last year, most of them could not survive.

Pepper whales can grow up to 6 meters as adults. The reason why they are stuck has not been clarified, although scientists conjecture that this phenomenon may occur because their sound waves become disordered in shallow waters.
