Authorities investigate deaths of 14 sperm whales

Australian wildlife authorities are investigating the deaths of 14 young sperm whales that were found on a beach in Tasmania, Australia. The whales were discovered by locals on King Island and reported to authorities on Monday afternoon.

A government Marine Conservation Program team travelled to the island to try to determine their cause of deaths. Authorities were planning to conduct an aerial survey to determine whether there were any other whales in the area.
