The reason whales go onto beaches is to escape killer whales and monstrous great white sharks.

There are bunches of them swimming around NZ, scoffing seals, dolphins, whales and other sea creatures. They are vicious brutes.

I would rather jump into the ocean than have a tiger eat me and I guess whales are much the same. They see or hear a pack of killer whales circling and they flee right up to the beach, hoping the killer whales won't get them. Panic makes animals do clumsy things they wouldn't normally do.

That's my theory anyway, though I haven't conducted extensive scientific investigations.

See previous rants on CO2 and why it's good to produce more.
