💨 Abstract

The article discusses whether beached whales can predict earthquakes, following a massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia’s Far East, which triggered tsunami warnings. Before the quake, whales were beached in Japan and Russia, leading some to believe they were warning signs. However, experts suggest that these strandings are likely coincidental. They noted that mass strandings occur for various reasons and are not reliably linked to seismic events.
