A flotilla of would-be rescuers sailed to the Florida Everglades on Thursday to try to coax 41 stranded pilot whales out to sea, despite low expectations that the animals would survive.

Ten whales have died since fishermen discovered that the pod had beached in a remote part of the Everglades National Park along the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday. (Reuters)
