Radio New Zealand and the New York Times report that two pods of pilot whales, totalling 640 individuals, grounded themselves on a New Zealand beach on Thursday and Saturday. Volunteers tagged and re-floated some members of the first group; none of those were found in the second group. Pilot whales are a type of dolphin. The reason for the groundings is unknown, but mass strandings at the same site, Farewell Spit, have been observed before.

    Peter Thiel is a man of exotic taste. The bunker is to be made out of the whale bones, skin for lavish furnishing, and whale oil lamps for that rustic look.
