51 Whales Dead After Beaching in Australia
That is so bleak... An entire huge pod beached together. I wonder what could lead to such intelligent animals beaching themselves like that. It sounds like scientists are unsure of what caused them to become beached. Just "maybe illness or stress" but that's pretty vague...
Maybe it's the climate.
Or a lifetime of constant excruciatingly loud sonar blasts. Combine the two & I'd be beaching myself as well.
Aren't often Freighters and Cruise ships often the reason for ths because it confuses their navigation (and terrifies them)?
I would not be so quick to anthropomorphize the behavior of animals.
