Whales die mass in Scotland

15 pepper whales have died of being stranded in a location in the far north of England.

About 60 pepper whales recently swam into Kyle of Durness waters in Scotland on Friday. Twenty-five were in safe waters, experts from the British Marine Animal Rescue Organization (BDMLR) successfully rescued and brought 20 other whales back to the ocean.

However, when the tide receded, the remaining 15 whales were stranded in the sand and lying on top of each other, at the helplessness of the lifeguards, according to MSN .

About two months ago, a flock of similar whales also swam into Loch Carnan. They left after a child died. Less than a week later, 33 whales - thought to be among the whales - were found dead on a beach in Donegal, Ireland.

According to oceanographic experts, pepper whales have a habit of swimming close to the coast to hunt squid. If one of the group runs aground, the rest will swim in and try to rescue it, resulting in the whole group being in danger.

The leading expert Mark Simmonds of the Whale and Dolphins Conservation Organization (WDCS) added that the bays at Durness make the sea here as a disturbing matrix with quicksand, maybe makes the whales reduce their ability to locate by sound waves and lose direction.
