More than 20 whales were found dead and rotting along a rocky coast of southern Chile, maritime officials said, as they tried to determine what killed them and when. The whales, discovered beached north of the Gulf of Penas, measured about 10 meters long, according to officials with Chile's national fisheries service.
A young whale which died after it beached in the Humber Estuary is probably of a species rarely found stranded on the east British coast, conservationists have said.
