More than 50 pilot whales died in a mass beaching on the Scottish Isle of Lewis.

Maritime rescuers were able to save one single pilot whale after dozens of the animals washed up on a beach in the Outer Hebrides.

Researchers suspect the pod got in trouble over a female giving birth.

@tommyyum to this I would add the 500 pilot whales slaughtered this year in the #grind in the Faeroe Islands, an annual tragedy that get's few headlines and no "live ticker" coverage. #whaling #whales #cetaceans #dolphins #PilotWhales
(the Guardian article headline says "dolphins", though they are called pilot whales)
