Conservation group preparing to perform necropsies on dead sperm whales in P.E.I.
Three large sperm whales stranded near Prince Edward Island require urgent necropsies to determine cause of death before rapid deterioration, conservation officials said.
- Tonya Wimmer, executive director of the Marine Animal Response Society, said they were preparing to perform necropsies on three dead sperm whales found in P.E.I.
