Dozens of whales die after 160 stranded in Western Australia

Wildlife authorities reported up to 160 long-finned pilot whales stranded on the western Australian coast, with at least 26 dying before a rescue attempt could start.
A team involving various professionals responded to the scene at Toby's Inlet near Dunsborough for the beached whales, as stated by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.
Typically, euthanizing the stranded whales is the most humane course of action based on previous strandings, including the 2023 Cheynes Beach incident, according to the department. Officials advised against individual rescue attempts.
