An entire pod of 55 pilot whales died on Sunday after a mass stranding on a beach in Scotland. The pod may have washed up on the beach because they wanted to help an injured female. An entire pod of 55 pilot whales died on Sunday morning after a mass stranding on a remote beach in Western Isles, Scotland, police said. Most of the whales died shortly after washing up in low-tide waters, although 15 of them were still breathing when rescue teams arrived on the beach. The incident is the "largest fatal mass stranding event we've had in Scotland for decades," the Scottish Marine Animal Stranding Scheme said on Twitter on Sunday.

London CNN —A pod of more than 50 pilot whales has died after a mass stranding on a northwestern Scottish island, according to a marine charity on the ground. Pilot whales are sociable animals, so if one becomes stranded, experts believe others from the pod will follow and also become stranded. Known to be gregarious, pilot whales have “extremely strong social and emotional bonds with one another,” Jarvis told CNN. In the UK, the largest stranding of pilot whales was in Scotland in 2011, when 77 were found stuck on the country’s northerly shores, according to Jarvis. Tasmania’s largest stranding was in 2020, when more than 450 pilot whales were found.
