82 false killer whales dead and further 13 stranded off Florida coast. Authorities are fighting sharks, tides and mangroves to save over a dozen false killer whales as a mass stranding has left more than 80 dead off the Florida coast. False killer whales are a large type of dolphin who are named for their physical similarities to the orca. The stranding took place along a remote area of Florida’s Southwest coast in Everglades National Park. It was first reported by a citizen on Saturday and then confirmed by the US Coast Guard. Teams from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission have been working at freeing the animals for nearly four days. They have been attempting to herd the Whales into deeper waters but have been hampered by several factors including the presence of sharks and thick mangrove growth which has ensnared many of the animals.
