Australian wildlife authorities are investigating the deaths of the whales, which were discovered Monday on Tasmania's King Island, off the southeastern coast.
One of 14 dead sperm whales lies washed up on a beach at King Island, north of Tasmania, Australia, on Tuesday.
The whales were discovered Monday afternoon on King Island, part of the state of Tasmania in the Bass Strait between Melbourne and Tasmania's northern coast, the state Department of Natural Resources and Environment said in a statement. Photos distributed by the department showed whales lying on their sides in shallow water on the rocky shore of the island.
The department said it is not unusual for sperm whales to be sighted in Tasmania and the area where they were discovered on the beach was within their normal range and habitat.
