More than 120 whales have died over 48 hours in two separate beachings in New Zealand.

Over 100 long finned pilot whales died after becoming stranded on a remote beach in the north of New Zealand's South Island on Saturday, while another 20 will be buried by a local Maori tribe after they beached themselves on the North Island's east coast.

It's just evolution at work. Our ancestors left the water millions upon millions of years ago and I expect quite a lot died in the process. I look forward to the first genuine photo of a whale walking down the street.

Maybe they're being driven insane by man-made sonar, etc!

I watched part of that program the other day and have to say Id have found it more interesting if he was just sailing up and down the Severn.

I much preferred the South Park take.
