Almost 400 pilot whales have died after the worst mass stranding recorded in Australia.

Spasilačke službe su bile fokusirane na oko 270 kitova kod grada Strahan, koji su se tamo nasukali u ponedeljak, ali su jutros iz helikoptera spazili još 200 kitova pilota nasukanih na plaže deset kilometara dalje.

„Pokušaćemo da spasimo koliko god možemo“, istakao je Deka.
