aground

About 125 pepper whales died in New Zealand after drifting to the coast during the last two weekends.

Australian lifeguards are using jet-powered amphibious vehicles, excavators and human power to save 194 whales and dolphins stuck on a beach.

The police were forced to shoot at the heads of exhausted whales on the beach as people flocked to see. The rain poured down, making the scene become more and more pitiful.
