Beached Whales in India Injured by Earthquake
Capt David Williams, Chairman Deafwhale Society, the oldest whale conservation group in the world! More than 100 short-finned pilot whales washed up on Indian shores; 80 died on the beach. The rest were towed back to the sea by motor boats. Watch the Video above. Notice the strong wind blowing towards the shore. Also, notice the white-caps and the wind-driven currents washing to the beach. The strong flow of the current is guiding the whales to the sand. They obviously have no sense of direction. This is exactly what one would expect if the pod had suffered a prior pressure-related injury that had disabled their ability to echo-navigate. In other words, their travel path is under the control of incoming current, not the whales. The only logical answer is that they were lost at sea long before they reach the shoreline. The whales began washing up on Monday night January 11, 2016. They came ashore after the tide had dropped to its lowest and started to rise again
