False Killer Whales are large “open-ocean dolphins" known to attack and kill others with their distinctive array of 44 teeth.
Post Mortem of the bodies is being carried out today.
“We are waiting for the post mortem report. As the area is totally cut off, we are unable to contact the team, which was sent to Shyam Nagar," the Assistant Commissioner of Diglipur, Dr. Vivek Kumar to ‘Andaman Sheekha' today.
Dr. Kumar said that initially there were 41 Killer Whale but one whale was pushed back into the sea by villager, which survived the disaster.
Mr. Bimal Das, Panchayati Raj Institute Member from Diglipur Panchayat first saw the dead Killer Whales on 21st Oct, 2012, when he had gone to his brother's house during Durga Puja.
“I saw something is shining on the beach. I went there with a torch in hand and was horrified with the scene at the sea beach. There were many big fishes lying on the sea beach. Their fins and tail were shining in moon light. Immediately I informed the matter to villagers," Mr. Das added. Read the full report here.
