2025, December 16. Argentina, at San Clemente del Tuyú. A beaked whale (Ziphiidae) stranded on the beach. Rescuers tried to refloat the animal however it was found lifeless the next morning. Preliminary necropsy results revealed pneumonia and a high gastrointestinal parasite load, likely causing its death. The stranded whale was a juvenile male, 4.32 meters long and weighing about one ton. Rescue was complicated by low visibility and the whale’s repeated circular swimming pattern, typical of cetaceans in poor health.
2025, December 17. Taiwan, Xiaoliuqiu. Shanfufu Fishing Harbor. Beaked whale, about 4 meters long at a depth of 12 meters underwater. The cause of death is currently unknown, but fishing gear entanglement is likely the cause.
