Bulgaria: Over 150 Whales were Found on a Beach in Australia twitter.com

Over 150 whales were found dead on a beach in Australia, the BBC reported.

Animals of the type of tropical pilot were spotted by a fisherman at Hamelin Bay, about 300 kilometers south of Perth. Nearly half of whales have died, according to authorities in Western Australia.

A rescue action was organized to return the whales to the water with dozens of volunteers.

Authorities have also issued a shark warning. "It is possible that dead and dying animals will attract sharks to come close to the shore," the State Department of Fisheries said in a statement.

These whales are up to 5 meters tall and live tropical and subtropical waters. Scientists do not know what exactly makes them go out on the beach in bulk. According to experts, the cause may be a disease, they may have been injured or just have gone in the wrong direction, added bTV.
