Attempted/ongoing stranding attempt and dead cachalot on Chatham Island east of New Zealand

2025, November 4. Chatham Islands (Rēkohu). Near Stranding. Two large groups of Black Dolphins (Pilot whales) surrounded by a smaller species of dolphin. Pilot whales were mustered out of the bay by a boat. The whales were head bobbing which is a sign of stress.

Also on the same island: 2025, November 3. Chatham Islands. A 50 ft female Cachalot (Sperm Whale) stranded and died on the other side of the island. It died in the early hours of the 4th.
