The incident comes weeks after 45 short-finned pilot whales were stranded along a 15-km beach stretch in Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu.
In June last year, a 42-feet-long blue whale was washed ashore at the Revdanda coast, about 17 kms south of Alibaug in the neighbouring Raigad district.
While stranding of whales is not uncommon, mass beaching has baffled scientists for years. A marine expert said, “Whales usually swim together in a group. If one of them gets left behind or loses way for some reason, it begins swimming erratically. It could then lead to an injury or shock which can cause such incidents.”
The Bryde’s whale is known as a tropical whale because it usually lives in warmer waters and is found in the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans. Not much in terms of research has been done in India on this particular species.
