A strange phenomenon was observed this morning by Australians living on the northern coast of Tasmania. When people went to Anthony Beach in the morning, they saw a terrible picture - the entire coast was strewn with grind whales, most of which were no longer breathing
The news of the whales lying on the shore, which outwardly strongly resemble dolphins, quickly scattered along the coast and animal protection specialists and ordinary volunteers rushed there. They water the survivors of the grind in an attempt to save them from dehydration and sunburn.
To complicate matters, grinds are small, but terribly heavy animals. Even several adults were unable to move them, so the rescuers called special trailers ashore. As the site News24.com reports with reference to the representative of the local reserve Chris Arthur, as soon as the condition of the whales stabilizes, they will try to take these unlucky "suicides" to deep water.
This is not the first time that whales and dolphins have been thrown onto land. Apart from Australia, this sometimes happens on the New Zealand coast. Scientists cannot yet determine what drives these mammals to commit suicide.
According to the latest data, people managed to save 11 whales.

Millions of jellyfish-like creatures were washed up on the coast of California. The name of this relative of jellyfish is Velella Velella, creatures live on the surface of the water and travel thanks to the winds. As the name suggests, Velella has a kind of sail attached to their head. It is the "sail" that allows them to sail at their own discretion. Few predators hunt them, although some sea slugs and water snails feed on them. This is not an unprecedented mass selection event
Dolphins And Whales Are Washed Ashore By Military Sonars
Dolphins and whales are thrown ashore en masse due to the fact that they are stunned under the influence of military sonars, the authors of a new study believe. Experiments have shown that a dolphin under the influence of a locator can lose hearing for a period of 40 minutes. And since cetaceans mainly perceive the world with the help of hearing, they cease to orient themselves normally. On Monday, March 23rd, about 80 whales and dolphins threw themselves onto one of the deserted beaches in southwestern Australia. Dying dolphins and
