Whales die after stranding on Senegal coast

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24759004/wid/18298287/

Excerpt:

Technicians with the World Wildlife Fund, an environmental organization, said they had counted at least 38 carcasses — most larger than an adult man — strewn across a long stretch of sand.

By afternoon, as many as 60 whales had returned to the ocean. It was not immediately known what type of whales they were, but World Wildlife Fund employee Ibrahim Mat Dia said their size and coloring indicated they were either pilot whales or melon-headed whales.
