Whales stranded on Karikari beach

Today we looked at photos of the whales that became stranded on the beach in the North Island. Nearly 60 whales were stranded with 15 survivors. Here is a photo of them transporting one of the whales to another beach to refloat it.

They have to put wet towels and cold water on their fins and flukes to cool them down. Whales have lots of blubber which can keep them warm in the cool water but out of the water they can overheat very quickly.

Noone really knows why they mass strand however some people say that as they travel in large pods if one of the whales gets sick and doesnt know where it is going the others will all follow and they may end up on the beach. Another idea is that they may strand themselves on purpose if they have an illness within the group and they will die so as not to pass it on. Ask around see what you can find out.

Visit to the beach
