THE TRUTH ABOUT WHY WHALES MASS STRAND

Lost Spinner Dolphins are casualties of Houthi militants During an incoming tide, 10 non-navigating spinner dolphins swim blindly into a shallow swimming area close to the town of Rabigh, Saudi Arabia.  Their echo-navigation system was rendered defective by a large explosive set off when Houthi militants attacked a Saudi warship with three small boats off the coast of Hodeida, Yemen 30 January 2017. (see more below) The Saudi rescue teams tried to get the deafened dolphins to swim back to deep water. But with their biosonar system not working, they could not swim into the incoming current. The drag forces in the water simply turned them around and pointed them into the path of least drag. All swimmers must have a sense of direction when they swim in a flowing current. If not, they will simply swim with the flow like a blind duck. After 4 days of effort, the rescuers loaded 10 non-navigating spinner dolphins into a vehicle and transported them to a different location where the

Pods of whales beach because they are suffering barotrauma in their cranial air spaces induced by rapid and excessive changes in diving pressures caused by (1) vertical thrusting seafloor earthquakes, (2) undersea volcanic explosions, (3) the sudden collapse of an undersea volcanic caldera, (4) the violent impact of a heavenly body with the ocean's surface, (5) the noise from a massive undersea landslide, (6) military sonar, and (7) explosives. Pilot whales spent 40 to 50% of their lives diving deep into the black depths of their undersea world looking for food. They use the most sophisticated acoustic sonar system ever known. Just like a bat flying in pitch black cave, the basics of the odontocete biosonar is the sending out of clicking sounds and reading the returning echoes. The clicks are produced by passing air through phonic lips similar to the human vocal cords and nasal air cavities. This air is supplied to the many nasal complexes from the lungs by the palatopharynge

EARTHQUAKE NEAR PUERTO RICO CAUSES FALSE KILLER WHALES TO BEACH IN FLORIDA Florida Middle Keys (16 January 2016): Rescue efforts continue Monday in the largest stranding of false killer whales in recorded Florida history (95), taking place at a remote mangrove beach in mainland Monroe County near Hog Key.  They swam blindly into the shallows near the Highland Beach area, inside western Everglades National Park and eventually all died.  The first reports came in not long before nightfall Saturday (January 14th) The pod was injured by an extremely shallow (4 km) magnitude 4.6 earthquake in the seabed 25km S of Emajagua, Puerto Rico. The event was reported as felt on the Island. A mag. 4.6 is on the low side for causing mass strandings, but the fact that it was only 4 km deep in the seabed made it much more dangerous than it would have been if were 10 km deep. In brief, the quake erupted violently and suddenly without precursory signals. The vertical movement in the seabed ge

Spinner Dolphins Beach in Florida Bay An unusual scene unfolded in Florida Bay over the labor day weekend: Five spinner dolphins were found nearly lifeless on shallow mud flats, far from home.  All suffered from extreme dehydration and severe sunburn ( link ).  Two of the spinners were taken to Sea World in Orlando for additional treatment. One died Sunday and the second, known to be in critical condition, reportedly died Monday.  Three more spinner dolphins were found stranded in  Everglades National Park waters of Florida Bay on Monday.  Scientists at the scene told the press that Hurricane Hermine likely drove the spinners into the shallow bay ( link ). This was a dumb remark for a whale scientists. They know that dolphins have evolved for over 30 million years in a stormed-tossed oceans of the world. If healthy, they instinctively know to move far away from the path of a hurricane. You will never see a healthy dolphin near shore when a storm approaches. On the other hand,

KILLER QUAKE STRIKES AGAIN:   Kills Two Killer Whales in the Same Area  As noted in the news clip above, shock waves from a seaquake off Cape Beal on the west coast of Vancouver Island killed 5 baleen whales in June 1946 ( link ). The big deal back in those days was that the fishermen were towing all 5 whales 500 miles to a rendering station on the East Coast of Queen Charlotte Island. It was their lucky day. What's so different about 2016? Today when whales are killed by seaquakes off Vancouver Island, the authorities deny that these events can even scare them; killing them is out of the question. Isn't that strange? Why would they recognize that seaquakes could kill whales in 1946 but deny it today? The reason is very simple. Shock waves from seaquakes cause barosinusitis (sinus barotrauma that can easily kill marine mammals and fish outright). This is the exact same injury caused by high-powered sonars, oil industry air cannons, and underwater explosives. I
