The British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) has reported that it has found at least 55 cetaceans, most of them dead, on a beach on the Isle of Lewis and Harris, in the west of Scotland.

According to rescuers, they are pilot whales, also known as pilot whales, and only ten are still alive.

The reasons for this “mass stranding” off the coast of Scotland are unknown, but it is common for these marine mammals to travel in groups, according to the agency.

The BDMLR specialists have traveled to the place to take care of the cetaceans and have asked the public to avoid going to the area. “To give these whales the best chance of survival, please avoid the area,” Scottish police also urged.
