Pod of Whales Stuck on the Beach

There was a pod of whales that included 64 mothers and their calf was found at Anthony's Beach on Saturday night, but a lot of them has died already. Only 11 of the whales survived. They were kept alive by buckets of water and wet cloth before they were moved to deeper waters. Some of them were fitted with tracking devices. Scientists are hoping that these whales will join other pods. Right now scientists are trying to see where they are going and if there are other pods in the world that are stuck on the beach like this one.
