Reason behind this Stranding • Some whales follow schooling fish or other prey into shallow waters, which cause the whales to become disoriented, as a result of which they get stranded. • Whereas another reason could be panic from being trapped by a predator such as killer whales or sharks. • Another possibility is that whales might be drawn to land by prey-rich currents. Further, the shape of the beach and the coastline could also have a role to play. • For instance, if the beach has gently sloping shorelines, whales that are dependent on echolocation for navigation can be deceived.
