Survivors of a pod of almost 100 whales that beached on the southwestern Australian coast were euthanized Wednesday after a second day of frantic, but unsuccessful efforts to rescue them, authorities said.

The survivors continually returned to the shallows, the Western Australia Parks and Wildlife Service said in a statement late Wednesday.
