Along the same lines, we've probably all wondered why whales beach themselves...I know I have....anyone like to post their ideas?
Here's something that I read a while ago, sounds good to me..though many would doubt the source.
<< Whales <WHALES do not commit mass suicide. They have no consciousness to allow for this, and it has never happened. Instead, you see whales often beaching themselves and then being saved by Humans, only to re-beach themselves and die. This takes place mostly on the coastlines of your continents, and often on those areas of topography that "stick out," such as a peninsula or isthmus. Your Cape Cod is a good example in America, and is also a place where this has recently happened (up to 47 whales on a beach).
The reason is that whales, dolphins, amphibians, birds, and even insects all navigate to their breeding ground or migration areas each year via the magnetic grid of the planet! Each group follows the ley lines of magnetic influence, almost as if they had a built-in compass. In fact, they actually do!
The magnetic grid of this planet has changed so much, so quickly, as we told you it would in 1989, that there hasn't been time for the pods of whales to adjust with time to these changes. Instead, many simply follow the old magnetic lines of migration, only to find themselves on a beach instead of the open ocean, as the old magnetic direction used to take them. They're confused, and they simply line up and try again, just as they have for years. These things are temporary, and as tragic as you might see them, it's all part of "pruning" the system, and the calves will go around in the future, establishing new instinctive information for the new whales regarding the grid changes >>

It wasn't meant to be a guessing game Floh, you only have to ask nicely and I will gladly give you the source.Floh said:Who is 'we'?
i'm not interested in playing guessing games. name your source, please.
i think whales are picking up on sonar from merchant and military ships which is what is confusing them.

Won't be able to do what?Floh said:Please name your source and say why you think most people would doubt it. thanks.
