Carcasses can explode if left to decompose on land and should be towed back to sea ‘where they belong’, experts say
Two mass strandings in Tasmanian waters in a week has left about 200 pilot whales and 14 sperm whales dead.
On Monday, 14 juvenile sperm whales died and washed ashore at King Island, in Bass Strait. Approximately 230 pilot whales became stranded on Ocean Beach, west of the Tasmanian town of Strahan on Wednesday.
In 2017, a New South Wales council buried an 18-tonne humpback whale at Port Macquarie’s Nobbys beach and then excavated it a week later, due to community concerns about heightened shark activity.
“If you’ve got a connection to the water table there’s a chance that it does leak out into the ocean – it could potentially attract predators but … that’s not fully proven,” Meynecke said.

Dave Barry wrote about the Oregon exploding whale. First time reading it, I laughed until I couldn’t breathe. I still laugh when I think about his story.
That never gets old. Thank you.
The chunks of whale weren’t flaming. It was funny enough without adding made-up stuff.
This reminds me of a short story I read years ago about a drowned man found on a West Coast beach. The man was fifty feet from head to toe.
How to get rid of it was the story line. He ended up being mostly canned dog food.
Been a while since I saw it.
Back in the day, I used to tell dirty hippie chicks that I designed nuclear powered whaling stations.
Run away! Run away!
