EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK, Fla. (KGO) -- Biologists are racing to save about a dozen whales after they stranded themselves off the Florida Everglades.

81 of the so-called false killer whales have already died. They resemble Orcas - but only grow to about 17-feet.

A dozen groups including the Coast Guard are helping in the search.
