A total of 226 pilot whales have been beached on the coast of Tasmania, for the second time in a relatively short period.
In 2020, the same thing happened to 500 pilot whales, not far from this incident.
The area is apparently a trouble spot for both pilot and sperm whale beachings, or "strandings", of this kind.
But yeah, we- we improve every time, and it's always a challenge."
Despite the team's increased experience and expertise, with hours spent dragging the survivors out to sea, almost 200 of the stranded whales have died.
Sam Thalmann: "We're doing investigations and collecting samples that will- hopefully, help us then understand some of the mechanisms and and hopefully, potentially the processes as to why these animals strand at this location."
As pilot whales are extremely social animals, one feasible explanation for their behaviour is that they follow a group mate into danger.
Older or unwell creatures are known to swim ashore and younger members may follow their lead.
It's also thought that Tasmania's beaches, which descend to the waterline slowly and gently, may confuse the whales.
On this occasion, 32 of the 226 animals have survived, with specialists refloating them in deep water.
But we'll certainly keep surveillance and monitoring for those ones that do restrand and then we'll assess their condition, if and when that happens."
