Australians race against time to rescue 150 stranded pilot whales

Frantic efforts are under way to save hundreds of whales stranded or about to strand off Western Australia.
At least 100 pilot whales are already beached at Toby Inlet near Dunsborough, about 150 miles south of the state capital, Perth. Most are distressed in shallow water as scores of rescuers struggle to refloat them.
The state’s Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) said that at least 28 whales had died and about 150 more were struggling in shallow waters.

There’s obviously something more going on for over 100 whale to act in this behaviour

Is the magnetic pole shift messing up their navigation systems?

Poisoned waters, sonar from ships, no Good source... leading to mass death?
