50 Whales get stranded, die in Western Australia, know the reasons

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

whales have died after being stranded in the shallow water along the beach of Cheynes in Western Australia. Confirming the incident, the Parks and Wildlife Service of Western Australia said that many long-finned pilot whales were found on the beach of the southern coast Tuesday morning. In the videos posted on social media platforms, some whales are seen flapping their fins while others are seen huddling together. The authorities have urged the people to keep away from the sea beach warning them of ‘large sick whales or waves or large machines’. The long-finned pilot whales are found in the Southern Hemisphere and North Atlantic Ocean. It is not yet known why the pods weres stranded, but scientists and biologists are confused about the behavior of the whales who huddled together before being stranded. They feel that the whales might have been scared of a predator like a large whale. Scientists have observed that the toothed whales use their sonar to navigate and they are more likely to get stranded compared to non-toothed whales. This is not the first time that whales have died after getting stranded on the beach. More than 200 whales were stranded on the beach of Tasmania last year September. Prior to this, 450 whales got stranded in 2020 on the beach of Tasmania in Australia.
