Animal rescuers try to keep dozens of dolphins away from Cape Cod shallows after mass stranding

Animal rescuers were trying to keep dozens of dolphins away from shallow waters around Cape Cod after 125 of the creatures earlier stranded themselves. Teams in Massachusetts found one group of 10 Atlantic white-sided dolphins swimming in a dangerously shallow area at dawn on Saturday, and managed to herd them out into deeper water. That is according to the International Fund for Animal Welfare. Scouts also found a second group of 25 dolphins swimming close to the shore near Eastham, with herding efforts there ongoing as the tide dropped throughout the morning. Ten dolphins died during the stranding Friday at The Gut — or Great Island — in Wellfleet, at the Herring River.
