3天500领航鲸搁浅 从空中看触目惊心

澳洲南部塔斯马尼亚州一座偏远海港附近，过去三天来已有多达近五百头长肢领航鲸搁浅。

澳洲南部塔斯马尼亚州（Tasmania）一座偏远海港附近，过去三天来已有多达近五百头长肢领航鲸（long-finned pilot whale）搁浅，酿成澳洲史上最惨烈的鲸鱼搁浅纪录。

澳洲官员二十三日证实，至少三八○头鲸鱼已经死亡，救援人员正积极抢救剩馀鲸鱼。塔斯马尼亚州环境当局表示，这些鲸鱼受困在麦夸利港（Macquarie Harbour）两处不同沙洲，空中监测小组认为牠们多半已经死亡。约二七○头鲸鱼二十一日被发现搁浅后，当局展开大规模救援行动，出动装有特殊吊索的船只引导受困鲸鱼重返海上。

此前，一九九六年有三二○头领航鲸搁浅在西澳州（Western Australia），邻国纽西兰在二○一七年也曾发生约六百头领航鲸受困事件。（美联社、法新社）
