This one from 300 pic.. of False Killer whales at Racha yai Island,Phuket Thailand

on 26,june 2008.. My firts pic. start from 18:16:08 pm
about 50 Fales killer whales on the beach
I’ve read about mass beachings before, but I never thought I’d witness one first hand.

so greating for me that time to see somethings like this,As far as the eye could see, there were approximately twenty helpless little whales floundering about. Some of them were futilely struggling against the surge of the tide.
And in the water, I could see numerous others destined to join their fate

Their cries of agony echoed like frightened children. It was the first time I had ever heard a whale cry.

I frantically tried to save the animals, pausing only to take pictures . . . Man, they were heavy! It was a real frenzy!
The island was a veritable ghost town because everyone was on the beach.

At least 200 people, both Thai and foreigners, had gathered at the scene chaotically trying to drag the large black marine creatures back to the sea.

For full six hours, all means at our disposal were utilized in the rescue effort.
Even though we lost a one of them, the majority of the whale live to swim again.

After that in 8 hrs, I heard about earthquake in Indonesia 7.3 r. Someone said Might be the Whales lost sonar...

Remark..Firt time we thought all of them are Dolphin that why anyone do not feel to fear of them ...555

Thank you

A warm welcome to TN, Weerawa.
This is an amazing shot. We would love to know more about these whales and their dire situation. A note of explanation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for sharing.
