Blue Whale Killed by Seaquake Strands in Kuwait

Deafwhale Society's earthquake stranding theory explains blue whale beaching! The beached blue whale in this video  was found at Failaka Island off the coast of Kuwait . It was between 15 to 20 meters long. Blue whales are known to be the largest mammals on earth sometimes exceeding 30 meters long.  Kuwait Environment Protection Society  director  Wijdan Al-Eqab said  that blue whales roam many areas in the world including the Indian Ocean from which the beached one at Failaka Island most probably came. She also guessed that the whale had likely lost its way and was carried off by swift currents to the Arabian Gulf .  No reason for its death has been determined as of yet, she said. Blue whales have been spotted in February in the Arabian Sea . The only undersea earthquake that could have injured this whale occurred in the Arabian Sea about 2,000 miles upstream from Kuwait at 11 pm at night. It was extremely shallow (3 km) and very...

Seaquake Kills Young Killer Whale

On 27 February 2014, scientists cleared the Canadian Navy in Sooke's death. According to Deafwhale Society's earthquake theory , the Canadian Navy was not responsible. Sooke was found dead on a beach just north of Long Beach, Wash. on 10 February 2012. Her body was battered, bloodied and bruised, and appear as if it were hit on left side by a shock wave or a powerful blast. Sooke  was a 3-year-old member of the Southern resident killer whales, which make their seasonal home in the San Juan Islands, 42 miles south of Vancouver City (Canada). On 4 February 2012, at 12:05 pm local time, a magnitude 5.6 earthquake occurred along the Continental drop off, 50 miles west of Vancouver Island, and 146 miles upstream from the entrance to the Juan de Fuca Strait. It is likely that Sooke  was swimming south only a few hundred feet from the vertical edge of the drop off when she was hit broadside by a powerful shock wave generated during the seismic process (open this pa...

Classic Example of a Lost Pilot Whale

A Lesson in Understanding Why Whales Beach: My stranding theory indicates that beached whales and dolphins swim blindly into the shore because they are suffered a previous barotrauma-style injury that damaged their cranial air spaces and knocked out the sense of direction. Rarely is there a particular stranding that illustrates this any more than the one that occurred last night in Otago, New Zealand. Attempts to stop a 4m-long pilot whale from beaching itself at Kaka Point, Otago, New Zealand failed. The whale was eventually left to die on the rocks. This whale was suffering for a severe pressure-related injury (barotrauma) that damaged its cranial air spaces and caused this animal to lose all sense of direction. This whale resides in a pod... where are the other pilot whales? Residents, police, firefighters and the Kaka Point Surf Life Saving Club spent more than two hours trying to help the injured whale back out to sea, but in the end the whale's desire to beach itsel...
