Ninety surviving false killer whales stranded on a remote beach in Tasmania will be euthanized, authorities confirmed on Feb. 19. More than 150 of these oceanic dolphins were found on the northwest coast near Arthur River, approximately 400 km from Hobart. Despite rescue efforts, adverse weather and the isolated location hindered the successful re-floating of the animals. The cause of the stranding remains unclear. This marks the first large-scale stranding of false killer whales in the region in nearly 50 years. False killer whales are an endangered species, known to grow up to 20 feet in length and weigh as much as 3,000 lbs.
