    Any naval trainin or activities a week prior? Last time I read about beached whales, it seemed pretty obvious that sonar was completely messing them up.

      I prefer to believe that they are at the intersection of intelligence and stupidness that allows them to occasionally buy into a death cult. Also I’m entitled to my own opinion and that’s my truth /s

      Wasn’t there a thing about the pod leader (matriarch) aging and becoming senile and the whales just following her either way 🤔
