HOBART, Australia: About 230 whales have been stranded on Tasmania's west coast, just days after 14 sperm whales were found beached on an island off Australia's southeastern coast.

The pod, which is stranded on Ocean Beach, appears to be pilot whales, and at least half are presumed to be still alive, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment Tasmania said on Wednesday.
