More than 60 false killer whales have died and authorities are trying to save dozens more after a mass stranding on a remote Australian beach.
Tasmania's Department of Natural Resources and Environment said a pod of 157 had beached near Arthur River, in the island's north west.
About 90 of the animals - which witnesses say include juveniles - are still alive, with conservation experts and veterinarians at the site evaluating whether any can be returned to the sea.
Tasmania has seen a series of mass whale strandings in recent years - including the country's worst-ever in 2020 - but false killer whales haven't mass stranded there in over 50 years.
