And I know most of us don't think of the North Sea as shallow, but it actually is.
Steve LoweCORRESPONDENT
Now, as I say, in this particular case, the experts were called the British Divers Marine Life Rescue, tried to refloat some of the animals unsuccessfully.
Steve LoweCORRESPONDENT
And then eventually a group called CSIP, which is the Citation Strandings Investigation Programme, were part of the British Museum, actually came up to do necropsies or an autopsy on these animals.
Steve LoweCORRESPONDENT
And I've taken away bits of the animals for further research.
Steve LoweCORRESPONDENT
But, you know, I'm willing to say, well, we don't know at the moment.
Steve LoweCORRESPONDENT
However, what it does tell us is keep our eyes open because we just have no idea of exactly what is going on on there.
Steve LoweCORRESPONDENT
And if you should see something like this, say a cetacean in any kind of difficulty, the thing is to call, if they're alive, just to call British Divers Marine Life Rescue.

Six pilot whales have died after a pod of about forty became stranded near the shore at Northumberland recently, prompting marine researchers to question why the deep water animals had entered such shallow coastal waters.
Tristan HilderbrandHOST
British Divers Marine Life Rescue, BDMLR, was called to the scene after the pod was reported in distress.
Tristan HilderbrandHOST
The organization said the whales were not the same group that was herded out of the River Thames over the weekend, as the two locations are farther apart than pilot whales could travel within twenty-four hours, according to the BBC.
Tristan HilderbrandHOST
Lavinia Mitchell, an independent marine mammal researcher, said it was unusual to see pilot whales in shallow water, particularly as the animals are normally found farther offshore.
