Australian rescue workers are fighting a race against time to save dozens of pilot whales and a small pod of dolphins stranded on a Tasmanian beach.
The 194 pilot whales and half a dozen bottlenose dolphins beached on Naracoopa Beach on Tasmania's King Island on Sunday evening.
It has been reported that about 140 of the whales have already died.
More than 400 whales have died in Tasmanian waters in recent months, in a phenomena for which scientists still have no definitive explanation.
