More than 100 whales had stranded on the Panadura Coast in Sri Lanka on Monday (02).

Sri Lanka Police and the Sri Lanka Coast Guard have launched an operation to safely guide the whales back to the sea. Residents in the area as well are reportedly making a concerted effort to return the dolphins back into the sea.

Asha de Vos a Sri Lankan marine biologist in an Instagram post said based on the images obtained the whales are pilot whales, a species known to strand.
