A 2-year-old girl was killed in a dog attack in Pulaski County on Saturday, a news release from the sheriff's office says.

Around 6:25 p.m., deputies responded to the 6000 block of Norman Road regarding an animal attack involving the girl, the release says. The girl was pronounced dead at the scene, the release says.

The sheriff's office, working with the Pulaski County Animal Control Division, found and is holding the dog believed to be involved in the attack, pending DNA testing, the release says. The DNA testing aims to determine whether the dog in custody is the one responsible, said Kristin Knox, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office.

Two more dead gray whales were spotted in San Francisco Bay over the weekend, doubling the number that have washed up in the area so far this year, according to The Marine Mammal Center (TMMC).

On Saturday, a dead gray whale was seen floating off Tiburon near the Larkspur Ferry Terminal, TMMC said. The adult female was spotted again on Sunday being pulled out toward the Golden Gate Bridge by strong tidal patterns. Experts determined the whale's skin was in good condition with overall minimal body decomposition.

Another dead gray whale was spotted Sunday off Point San Pablo Yacht Harbor, according to TMMC. Additional information about the animal wasn't immediately available.

TMMC hopes to perform necropsies on the whales to determine how they died.

Dozens of pilot whales were found stranded along the coast of Mbadokai Beach, Deranitan Village, and Fuafuni Village in Southwest Rote, Rote Ndao, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), on Monday (March 9), shocking local residents. Of the total 55 stranded pilot whales, 21, comprising 4 calves and 17 adults, were found dead, while the remaining 34 were successfully herded back to the sea.

A lecturer at the UGM Faculty of Biology (Biology UGM), Akbar Reza, expressed concern over the deaths of the stranded pilot whales. Pilot whales are a species under full conservation protection. Moreover, Akbar noted that globally, according to data from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), there is no comprehensive global population data available.

"Based on IUCN data, we do not have global population figures, so we do not know whether their population is increasing, decreasing, stable, or otherwise," he said on Tuesday (March 31).

He also highlighted that this incident serves as an alarm about ecological disturbances in the surrounding waters, especially since such events are not the first.
