A pod of more than 50 pilot whales has died after a mass stranding on a northwestern Scottish island.
British Divers Marine Life Rescue , which responded to the report of the stranding on Sunday, said most of the 55-strong pod died shortly after washing up by the village of North Tolsta on the Isle of Lewis, with only 15 still alive when they were found Sunday morning. “Many of the animals were already found dead, so it seems that they had been stranded during the night,” Dan Jarvis, BDMLR’s Director of Welfare, said.
” One of the dead whales appeared to have a vaginal prolapse, which experts believe could have been the reason the entire pod was stranded. The SMASS said on social media that it will be “conducting sampling and necropsies” of the whales to better understand their health and why they may have stranded. Whale strandings are on the rise in the UK, although experts are still looking for a reason behind the increase.
