9 Pilot Whales, 24 Dolphins Stranded on Cape Cod

pilot whales strandedYou know, it’s not just humans suffering from the recent cold weather in the northeast US this year: whales and dolphins are, too. According to MSNBC, nearly three dozen whales and dolphins became stranded on the shores of Cape Cod last week. In the end, nine pilot whales and 24 dolphins died, some of whom had to be euthanized. Experts believe high winds and strong tidal fluctuations from last Friday's storm caused the animals to become trapped in shallow water. As if they didn’t have enough problems already.

[Thanks, Dad!]
