Two of the three large sperm whales stranded off P.E.I.'s North Shore have been confirmed dead, according to the Marine Animal Response Society.
The third animal is still alive, the group said, but it's in a tough spot and is not in good condition.
The whales were first spotted Saturday night on the ocean side of a small chain of islands close to Hardys Channel, near East Bideford in western P.E.I.
Tonya Wimmer, executive director of MARS, said the whale that is still alive is not in the best location. She said the whales are large, so rescue efforts could only further harm it.
"In the case of these animals, they were all fairly big. They're anywhere from 33 to about 38 feet long, which puts them anywhere between, you know, 15 to almost 20 tonnes," Wimmer said.
