Un banc de dizaines de fausses orques, pouvant chacun peser plus d’une tonne, s’est échoué près d’Arthur River, au nord-ouest de l’île australienne. « Environ 90 » d’entre eux étaient encore vivants mercredi, selon les autorités.
Over 150 false killer whales, large predator dolphins, stranded on a beach near Arthur River, Tasmania, on February 18, 2025. By February 19, around 90 were still alive, but their survival chances were slim. Rescue efforts were challenging due to their size, and euthanasia was being considered to minimize suffering. This was the largest stranding in the area since 1974. Mass strandings are increasing globally, with potential links to human activities, though causes remain unclear.
