Don't worry - the whales are getting their revenge - our NZ wireless has just given a report about a killer whale making an attack on it's trainer in a Marine Park in the USA.... To keep on this thread - since Cetacians invented sonar, methinks we should give them priority in the choice of frequency and volume for use of said technolgy. Yup, I'm sure human induced 'noise' stuffs them up in more ways tah one. Mass beachings seem to be the Cet's own problem - misreading of echos from crescent-shaped sandy beaches, with rocky ends. We've had a few pods of pilot whales ground on Stewart Island in rcent years - 300 was the max (they got a tad smelly). Methinks we can't blame NATO exercises for that lot - well I hope not. Cheers - Sam
