whale suicide phenomenon.
Why do whales commit suicide?
In September 2020, 460 whales committed suicide on the shores of the Australian island of Tasmania. This was the largest number in the history of whale suicide in Australia, but why do these creatures, which are considered one of the largest, largest and smartest creatures on earth. Recently, researchers found that the number of whales decreased from 5 million Only 1.3 million. This is due to poaching and suicides that have spread recently.
There are many explanations for the topic of suicide. First, it can be sick or be affected by chemical toxins in the sea due to the misuse of humans. In these cases, the sea currents push it to the shore because it cannot swim, so it dies.
Secondly, environmental phenomena such as eclipses and global warming make whales do not know the different directions, so they go to the beach without feeling.Ships and submarines use sonar and acoustic imaging devices, and this causes the whales to be very afraid and tense.
The number of suicides.
This issue did not happen for the first time because in 1918 1000 New Zealand whales committed suicide. This was recorded as the largest suicide of whales so far. In February 2017, they discovered more than 650 whales on the beaches of New Zealand. This is considered the second largest suicide event for whales. And of course any beach where whales die in numbers These local authorities will be closed for a while. Because it is an attractive place for sharks in large numbers, it will be a great danger to humans. The whale is considered the most mysterious animal on the face of the earth and one of the smartest living creatures.
whale specifications.
There are more than 78 species of whales in the world, the most famous of which is the blue whale, which reaches a length of more than 30 meters and a weight of more than 180,000 kilograms. 100 people at a time. Why are whales characterized by intelligence from others on the face of the earth? The brains of whales and dolphins are among the most complex brains in the animal world, and they have the largest brain in living organisms. In a modern theory of neuroanatomy of the brain of whales and humans. They discovered that the cerebral cortex of whales It has many more gyruses than humans. These gyruses (the lines and protrusions drawn on the surface of the brain) appear due to the increase in the area of the outer cortex of the brain.. Sperm whales reach the size of their brains 6 times the size of the human brain and are characterized by the loudest sound among all animals and always emit Intermittent and loud sounds.. This made the scientists record all these sounds, and discovered that they contain a very complex vocabulary. They also have a language in which they communicate to the extent that researchers created a project called (CET) or the Cetacean Translation Initiative.. and they collected all the codes And the vocabulary of the sperm whale using a machine that decodes the sounds that whales use to communicate with each other. Whales contribute more to protecting the environment than trees. They absorb 33 tons of carbon dioxide in 200 years, while trees absorb 2.5 tons of carbon dioxide in 200 years. Wherever there are whales, there are many phytoplankton in this place, because they feed on the waste of whales. And the phytoplankton present on Earth sequester approximately 37 billion tons of carbon dioxide.. This is considered to be in the same area as four Amazon forests. This means that whales contribute At least 50% of the oxygen in the atmosphere. And now the International Monetary Fund and the United Nations for the protection of the environment are publishing campaigns calling on humans to protect the environment and beaches in order to preserve whales from extinction.
