Several hundred dead sea animals reportedly washed ashore in Sri Lanka on Wednesday, after a cargo ship caught fire and sank, sending poisonous chemicals into the ocean.
Four whales, 20 dolphins and 176 turtles have been discovered dead, according to the
New York Times. The MV X-Press Pearl went up on flames in May and sank in early June.
Officials believe that the deaths of the animals are related to the toxins released from the boat fire.
