Third pod of whales stranded in Tasmania
Wednesday Oct 26 12:14 AEST

A third pod of whales is stranded in southern Tasmania at the same spot where up to 70 pilot whales beached themselves on Tuesday.

Rescuers are working to save 14 whales at the southern end of Marion Bay, east of Hobart.

Dozens of volunteers and Parks and Wildlife officers managed to save 11 whales on Tuesday night after two pods of pilot whales - which are actually dolphins - beached themselves on the northern and southern ends of Marion Bay.

It is not known what caused the beaching, but service spokeswoman Ingrid Albion said that only one whale needed to get into trouble to cause a stranding.

"They use sonar so they can get confused when they come into sandy beaches," she said.

"Only one of them has to get in trouble and make a wrong turn and they´ll actually call the rest of the pod to them."

Authorities are now hoping for a change in weather conditions to prevent another stranding.

"It´s on the cards," rescue operations spokeswoman Liz Wren said.

"We hope not, but we´re definitely on the alert."
