Five rescue plans were put forward, including using helicopters and large vessels to pull the whales back out to sea, digging water channels to refloat them and waiting for a huge rising tide. 　　“But because of the size and physical condition of the whales, all plans failed, ” said Xu Xinrong, an animal researcher from Nanjing Normal University who specializes in cetacean mammals. Sperm whales, though distributed in nearly all of the earth’s oceans, prefer deep waters and can dive to a depth of 2, 200 meters, said Xu. Local authorities said that disposing of the whale carcasses was now a problem. Because whales are listed as a national grade Ⅱ animal for key protection in China, local authorities were waiting for instructions from the Ministry of Agriculture’s fishery command center. *
