Australian lifeguards are using jet-powered amphibious vehicles, excavators and human power to save 194 whales and dolphins stuck on a beach in the south of the country today.
Gray whales and dolphins drifted to Naracoopa coast on King Island, Tasmania from the evening of 1/3. This is the fourth time whales have been stranded on the coast in recent months in Tasmania. Whale ashore often occurs here when they migrate to the waters of Antarctica or return to the old place. Until now, scientists still do not understand why fish are stuck on the coast. The fact that dolphins and whales with shallow strands are extremely rare.
Chris Arthur, a spokesman for Tasmania's Wildlife Protection and Nature Reserve, said 54 whales and 7 dolphins are still alive when rescue efforts begin and 48 have been taken. back to the sea. More than 100 people on King Island volunteered to participate in the fish rescue campaign along with about 50 wildlife protection staff.
"Many children die immediately after being stranded, but some will survive for many days. We have encountered many similar cases," Chris said.
Excavators dug in the sand to bring water near the whale. Meanwhile volunteers volunteer water scales and apply wet cloth to their bodies to maintain a cool state. Some groups use stretchers to carry whales to shallow waters. Then the staff of the wildlife protection agency use small boats and amphibious vehicles to drag them to the sea.
In January this year, hundreds of whales flocked to a remote island in Tasmania. Although rescuers have done everything to keep their skin moist and take them to the sea, 45 are still dead.
Last November, 150 long fin whales lost their lives after being stuck on a rocky coast in Tasmania. A week earlier, 60 whales rushed to a beach in this state and only 11 lives were saved.
