two-year-old son Tyler look at carcasses of long-finned pilot whales and
bottle-nosed dolphins stranded on Sea Elephant Beach on Tasmania's King
Island in Australia November 29, 2004. Over 100 of the mammals
mysteriously beached themselves in a mass stranding which was repeated at
another beach on the island states' south-east coast. More than
three-quarters of Australia's whale strandings occur in Tasmania.

Australian islands, leaving rescuers on Monday struggling to steer
