Marine biologists in France are buffled with the mysterious deaths of six fin whales that were washed up on the France's western shores for the passed six weeks with no obvious signs of being injured by any ships.
Experts on Monday had to use mechanical diggers and long knives to disect the giants marine mamals to determine the cause of their unexplainable deaths and to rule out that viral infection.
Researchers say that an average of 3 to 10 whales are deposited dead on the shores of beaches buy having 6 dead whales in six weeks is very unusual and spike of the incident is quite alarming and very odd.
After thorough examination, the whales seemed to be malnourished and suffered international hemorrhage in cardio and pulmonary systems.
Researchers also theorized that humans that are capable of causing changes and upsetting the environment may have caused the whales to be exposed and vulnerable to pathogenic diseases that may have lead to their deaths.
The most recent whale corps that was found was on November 14 near the Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez. It measured almost 16 meters and weighed around 10 tonnes.
Up to now, the deaths of the gentle giants remains a dark mystery amid of the ongoing pandemic. Going back to the experts' opinion regarding humans behind their deaths is more acceptable. People are capable of making such drastic irreversible changes to the environment that has an impact to the availability of food sources of the whales or polluting the environment that can make the whales vulnerable to any known pathogenic disease.
