Mass Whale Stranding in Tasmania
Monday, November 24th, 2008
A pod of 65 long-finned pilot whales beached themselves on Tasmania’s far north-west coast over the weekend. Rescuers were able to return 11 of the survivors back to the sea.

OH NO! thats so sad. ):
Sure is.
military sonar tests?
Good point, sharkbait.
I wonder what drives these animals to do this.
the devil does
Military Sonar Tests. The Navy basically admits it. But the devil is a good second guess.
Does the sonar sound like other whales or something? What does it do that causes whales to go ape-shit?
US Navy Sonar can be louder than a jet engine. Since many Whales communicate/hunt/etc. through echolocation and have their own sonar, the Navy Sonar can literally drive them insane. Sometimes their ears explode…good times.
You know if we built a giant brick wall in the water across beaches about a 50 feet off shore just imagine the rewards! Animals wouldn’t beach themselves and people would be able to swim in saftey without sharks and barracudas chewing on them.
