51 Beached Whales Died in Australia. Authorities Are Trying to Save 46 More - SLRPNK

That is so bleak… An entire huge pod beached together. I wonder what could lead to such intelligent animals beaching themselves like that. It sounds like scientists are unsure of what caused them to become beached. Just “maybe illness or stress” but that’s pretty vague…
Maybe it’s the climate.
Or a lifetime of constant excruciatingly loud sonar blasts. Combine the two & I'd be beaching myself as well.
Seems obvious they are committing suicide
I would not be so quick to anthropomorphize the behavior of animals.

Why is suicide anthropomorphic?

Animal suicide - Wikipedia

Lemmings are known to migrate when the population in their area becomes too large for its food supply. During these migrations, some will swim to cross bodies of water, but not all of them will make it back to land alive. This unfortunate consequence of migration has sometimes been perceived as an act of mass suicide. This myth has been popularized in various media.

I feel called out

Aren’t often Freighters and Cruise ships often the reason for ths because it confuses their navigation (and terrifies them)?

This again… Its like every few years a large pod does this.

Still we don’t know why.

Some speculation that sonar and other underwater noise pollution messes with them and disorients them/makes it hard to communicate
If such a big group can kill themselves together, I have a feeling they can communicate… Probably a group decision
They’re probably sick of Daryl’s shit
Every season a few pods sacrifice themselves to feed the humans so the others can live...
the end is nigh
