The world is a place that is constantly looked at and is constantly changing. There are things that many of our brightest minds discover in the world, whether it be new technology, a new recipe for cooking, or a new discovery in science. We as members of the human race must continue to learn and find and discover, for it is one of the things that distinguish us so greatly from other species on the planet. And still, with all our progress in our respective fields of intellect, there are still things that even the brightest of us can't explain. With the rise in peculiar events happening all over the world, this one seems to rouse the attention of many biologists as more than 80 stranded dolphins were found in Florida.
While not much information has been revealed as to why it happened or what could be the cause of such an event, Reuters states that the U.S. Coast Guard spotted dozens of fake killer whales, which are members of the dolphin family, beached and stranded in Florida's Everglades National Park just last weekend. Biologists are puzzled as to why this would happen and are currently investigating a total of 82 stranded mammals while 13 were unaccounted for. The biologists will also pursue their cause of death with the use of samples collected in the post-mortem examination.
Despite this being an odd turn of events in the world of science and marine life, this is not the first time that something like this has happened. In different places of the world such as India, there was an incident that happened around this time last year. The Daily Mail reports on January 12 of 2016, 80 short-finned pilot whales were found beached on the coast of Tamil Nadu, India. The reported incident had roughly 36 of the whales struggling to get back to sea, but the rest were dying in the sun. There could be a couple of reasons for this event that may be similar to the one that happened just recently, and it can range from things such as misheard communications in their pod to struggling from the shallow waters. In any case, it is something that bewilders many biologists, making them study harder to find a way to save the unfortunate creatures of the sea.
