Scientists rush to solve mystery of dead baby whales washing up on shore of Argentina
Changes in marine conditions linked to climate change or El Nino could be to blame
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as an investigation into unusually high numbers of dead baby whales washing up on Argentina’s Patagonian coast, with AP adding that the carcasses are appearing around Peninsula Valdes. The Independent’s extract is the only one that points to possible explanations, naming climate change or El Nino as linked changes in marine conditions.
