What efforts are being made to understand the dolphin stranding in Tasmania?

Wildlife teams on the ground are conducting post-mortem investigations and sampling of deceased animals to determine the reasoning behind this unusual mass stranding of 157 false killer whales. This represents the first such event involving this species in Tasmania in 50 years. State Wildlife Officer Clark noted that refloating the surviving dolphins presents significant challenges due to their weight, which can reach up to 1,361 kilograms. These comprehensive investigations aim to uncover the causes of this mysterious phenomenon while experts work to address the urgent situation of the 90 dolphins that remain alive.
