    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…

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

    Still we don’t know why.
