Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium announced that all three whales they rescued after being beached have died.
According to Mote's Facebook page, after rescuing two pygmy killer whales off Sandy Key in Clearwater on August 29, they rescued a melon-headed whale on September 4 that was found beached alive on Longboat Key.
"Lightning," one of the two pygmy killer whales, passed away around 9 a.m. on September 5.
Mote said while Lightning's specific cause of death is unknown she repeatedly struggled to swim on her own, showed no interest in food, and was being treated for pneumonia, parasites known as nasotrema, and gastric issues. She was the sickest of the three whales.
Three farmers were killed by lightning strikes in Pursat province's Prangil commune on Saturday while they were working.
La Lin, deputy chief of Phnom Kravanh district police, said the three farmers were killed in separate incidents in the district while they were out farming in the rain.
"There were three people who were separately killed in lightning strikes in the district," he said. "When the lightning hit, they were at different locations. Some of them were working on the farm and the others in the rice field while it was raining."
He identified the victims as Chhorm Samnang, 50; Vin Samnom, 28; and Sam Lida, 38.
Fear of "climate change" has reached an all-time high. This is music to the ears of the cryptocracy who have contrived and architected the largest fraud in human history - AGW - but now global temperatures are DECLINING, which means the Fabian socialists are unleashing their full attack NOW. Christian breaks it down. - Instantly Demonetized - please support my efforts - http://paypal.me/iceagefarmer
Northwest Passage is ice clogged and closed, Canadian Coast Guard WARNING do not attempt the passage or be prepared to overwinter in the Arctic. Maersk plans to run the Arctic with shipping vessels, but blacked by ice a well as 22 other pleasure craft. Above normal ice in NW Passage and 4th most ice on record since 2014. I don't think the corporate media is giving us all of the information.
Still unstable following a devastating and deadly eruption in June, Guatemala's 'Volcano of Fire' has spewed an avalanche of volcanic gas and rock, known as pyroclastic flow.
Aerial footage of the phenomenon shows the exact moment the volcano roars back to life, before dust ascends into the air and a deluge begins flowing in the direction of the Las Lajas ravine. The torrent of pyroclastic particles, authorities said, was most likely triggered by "gravity and instability of the ground" left by the landslide following the deadly volcanic eruption in June.
A dead humpback whale was found off the coast of Brier Island, N.S., in the Bay of Fundy on Friday.
The breeding female whale, Peajack, was well-known to locals and was identified by Brier Island Whale and Seabird Cruises, said the Marine Animal Response Society.
MARS did not confirm the cause of the whale's death.
The chief naturalist with the whale cruise company, Shelley Lonergan, said she has been seeing Peajack in the area since 1995.
Peajack had had two calves since then, Lonergan said.

A strong 6.4-magnitude earthquake shook the southern Philippines on Saturday (Sept 8), sending frightened residents fleeing from buildings, officials and eyewitnesses said.
The quake struck off the coast of the southern town of Manay at about 3.16pm at a depth of 14km, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said in a statement. The institute said it expects the earthquake to have caused some damage but it and the local civil defence office said there were no immediate reports of serious destruction.
"A lot of people ran from their homes because a lot of items were falling inside," Phivolcs science researcher John Deximo told AFP.
