Rescuers struggle to save sperm whales in mass stranding off Tasmania »
WILDLIFE officers are desperately trying to save five whales that are the only survivors from a pod of almost 50 that beached off Tasmania.
An estimated 43 sperm whales stranded on a sandbank near the mouth of the Duck River, in the state’s northwest, have already died.
A small group of Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife staff are battling the odds to keep the remaining five alive overnight before trying to refloat them on tomorrow morning’s high tide.
The sheer size of the massive mammals – 18 metres long and up to 20 tonnes in weight – is complicating the would-be rescue.
“Six (rescue) staff are maintaining them – keeping them as comfortable as possible and pouring water over them,” said Parks and Wildlife spokeswoman Liz Wren.
“They are looking at whether it will be possible to attempt a rescue, which cannot be until the next high tide tomorrow morning.
“They are very heavy creatures, weighing 13 to 20 tonnes, and this places a lot of pressure on their internal organs.”
While sperm whales had been successfully rescued in the past, the shallow water at the site and the weight of the animals would make a positive outcome difficult.
It is the second-largest stranding of sperm whales in Tasmania and occurred at about 6.30pm yesterday.
After a helicopter flight first thing today assessed the situation, six Parks and Wildlife and Department of Primary Industry and Water staff were sent to the sandbank, about 150m off the eastern point of Perkins Island.

Intego: Mac trojan horse found in pirated Apple iWork ‘09
Thursday, January 22, 2009 - 11:37 AM EST “Intego, a maker of anti-virus and firewall software, has issued an alert to warn Mac users not to download Apple iWork ‘09 installers from sites offering pirated software,” Nick Spence reports for Macworld UK. “The risk of infection is serious, and users may face extremely serious consequences if their Macs are accessible to malicious users says Intego,” Spence reports. “Intego reports at least 20,000 people have already downloaded this installer.” “Once downloaded iWork ’09 is complete and functional, but the installer contains an additional package called iWorkServices.pkg says Intego,” Spence reports. “The malicious software connects to a remote server over the Internet; this means that a malicious user will be alerted that this Trojan horse is installed on different Macs, and will have the ability to connect to them and perform various actions remotely. The Trojan horse may also download additional components to an infected Mac.”
