Whales beach
themselves
at Cape Cod
TRURO. Mass. (AT) - Rescu
ers pushed and pulled 1 fi
stranded pilot whales olf a
Cape Cod beach Sunday, re
turning the animals to sea at
high tide. All the whales appar
ently survived.
The whales apparently were
from a different pod than a
group that went ashore nearby
earlier this month, an expert
said.
Coordinators said Sunday's
rescue effort at Fisher Beach in
Truro went smoothly and the
whales were offshore by mid
afternoon.
"It was pretty miraculous,
getting them olf the heath to
day," said David DeKing, direc
tor of the Center for Coastal
Studies in l’rovlncotown,
whu h coordinated the rescue.
"Hy the tiimi they wmi driv
en out to deep water they
looked pretty good." UcKing
N.iiti Sunday night "They were
swimming and diving and do
ing all the things they're sup
posed to do."
Rescuers said they were able
to mobilize even before the
whales beached themselves be
cause residents reported seeing
the animals moving unusually
close to land Sunday morning.
Also, the whales run aground
in shallow water rather than
coming completely ashore,
making it easier for rescuers to
move them as the tide rose. The
whales "never had a chance to
get high and dry and cooked,"
said Charles Mayo, a whole
specialist at the coastal center.
Pilot whales measure up to
20 feet long and weigh between
2,000 and 4,000 pounds. Once
beached, their hulk can crush
their internal organizes. Whale
blubber, which insulates the
animals from cold in the sea,
causes them to overheat on
land.
Kathy Shorr. also of the Cen
ter for Coastal Studies, said the
whales were from a different
pod than a group that became
s t r a n d e d on Sept. 11 in
We 11 fleet, about five miles
away Volunteers returned 25
of those whales to the sea, but
four other whales died.
