Over 157 dolphins beached on Australia's coast
Australian authorities have reported a mass stranding of over 157 false killer whales, a species of oceanic dolphin, along the shores of Tasmania, in an incident that has raised concerns among marine life experts. According to the island's Marine Conservation Program (MCP), the dolphins became stranded near the town of Arthur River on Tasmania's west coast, with initial observations indicating that at least 90 of them are still alive. The program confirmed that it is working alongside Tasmania's wildlife authority to understand the causes of this phenomenon and take necessary measures, stressing the importance of keeping the public away from stranded dolphins. Officials stated that rescue efforts are complicated due to the remote location of the incident. They also emphasized that dolphins are a protected species even after death, and tampering with their remains is considered a criminal offense.

More than 100 venomous snakes found in Sydney yard
Ammon News - Australian reptile handlers say they have been stunned to rescue 102 venomous snakes from a backyard mulch pile in Sydney. Cory Kerewaro said his business was initially called to rescue "a bunch" of the reptiles after one was reported to have bitten a dog at the property. When his colleague arrived, he discovered 40 red-bellied black snakes - four of which gave birth to more live young once he had placed them in a removal bag. Red-bellied black snakes are one of the most common venomous species in Australia but have not caused any human deaths on record. The five adult and 97 baby snakes are currently under quarantine and will be released into a national park once the weather cools. Mr Kerewaro said it was as record haul for the snake handlers, who normally catch between five and 15 reptiles per day. He said he recalls colleague Dylan Cooper calling him within 15 minutes to say: "Mate, I'm going to be here a while. It's a pretty big pile... I'm already over 15 snakes!" "I thought he was stitching me up." The dog was "alive and well" after the incident which happened on Boxing Day, he added. Female red-bellied black snakes often gather in small groups when they are ready to give birth, possibly to protect against predators, according to Mr Kerewaro. They are the only snake of their genus to give live birth, the Australian Museum says on its website. The species is considered to be shy, and bites - though uncommon - can cause swelling, nausea and diarrhoea. Snake catchers are required by law to release the animals close to where they were found. But given the size this discovery, the catchers have been given permission to release the snakes into a national park away from human interactions. BBC
