Wildlife officials in Australia said Sunday that 150 whales stranded on a remote coastline in Tasmania island, died after being battered by strong waves on rocks while rescuers frustratingly tried to save them.

Rescuers from the Tasmania state's Parks and Wildlife Service rushed to the remote site at Sandy Cape in an effort to save an estimated 12 whales spotted Saturday injured but still alive. However, the whales have died by Sunday.

Local rescuers on Sunday used trucks to move the remaining 11 pilot whales stranded on a beach in Tasmania in southeastern Australia.

Originally, 64 pilot whales, mostly females and calves, were beached on Anthony's Beach in Tasmania on Saturday, but 52 of the animals have already died when rescuers found them.

A small seaside community is for a 21 ft. great white shark swimming in the local lake.

A fisherman netted the shark in Tuggerah Lake, which opens to the Pacific Ocean 60 miles north of Sydney, but when he realized the shark was bigger than his 18-foot boat he let it go.

Randy Thornton's swimming adventure earlier this month was skewed after one of his fellow swimmers, a humpback whale, flipped its tail. The 50-year-old diver had to be hospitalized for a broken femur at HealthSouth Rehabilitation Center in Sandy.

The incident happened on March 1 during an excursion trip in the Dominican Republic. Thornton and 17 other divers were on the last dive of the last day of their weeklong trip to the reefs called the Silver Banks, an area where divers are allowed to swim with humpback whales.

Despite a strong condemnation from some conservative Christians, the Oslo Natural History Museum has put on display several pieces of art that show homosexuality among animals. The exhibition entitled "Against Nature" is claimed to be the world's first on one of the most controversial subjects.

"Homosexuality has been observed for more than 1,500 animal species, and is well documented for 500 of them," Geir Soeli, the project leader of the exhibition told Reuters in an interview.
