SYDNEY, Australia — Dozens of dolphins have died after a pod of more than 150 stranded on a remote beach in Australia's southern island of Tasmania, environment officials said Wednesday.

A pod of 157 dolphins from a poorly understood deep-sea species was believed to have stranded in the past 48 hours -- with 'approximately 90' still alive as of Wednesday morning.
