In the past month, 177 short-beaked common dolphins have beached themselves on Massachusetts's Cape Cod. Rescuers from the International Fund for Animal Welfare are working to rescue as many as possible from the thus-far unexplained beachings, but so far 124 have died. Many are being carried to deeper water and herded out of trouble by boats. "They're wild animals," said rescuer Katie Moore. "This is not comforting for them. They don't want to be touched."
