Four whales were found on the coast of Tateyama, Japan, after an 8.7 magnitude earthquake near the Kamchatka Peninsula. Scientists explain that this may be caused by the disorientation of marine mammals due to sharp changes in currents and water levels, writes UNN with reference to Mirror.
Footage has appeared online showing four whales washed ashore in Tateyama, Japan, after one of the largest earthquakes near Kamchatka. The first tsunami waves reached Hokkaido at 10:40 AM local time.
The recording was broadcast live. Scientists explain that whales can end up on shore during a tsunami “due to rapid and sharp changes in water levels and currents near the coast.”
