  1. 🐋 NEW: Long-finned pilot #whales in the Strait of #Gibraltar are increasing the volume of their calls to communicate over #shipping noise.

    While they can amplify calls over short distances, their long-distance #communication is compromised, risking pod separation and isolation as roughly 60,000 #ships pass through the #strait annually.

    The evolution of menopause in #ToothedWhales nature.com/articles/s41586-024

    "menopause is something of an evolutionary blip. We are one of the few #animals to experience it... There are five species of toothed #whales that undergo menopause — short-finned #PilotWhales, #FalseKillerWhales, #KillerWhales, #narwhals and #belugas — making it the type of animal that is known to have evolved menopause most frequently."

  12. They squeaked as they died: I tried to help those baby #pilotwhales – but nothing could be done.
    "It was the little cries of the dying young ones that hit me hardest.
    The sound is hard to describe – like a high-pitched squeak, a forlorn whistle amid the noise of breaking waves."

  16. More than 50 pilot whales died in a mass beaching on the Scottish Isle of Lewis.

    Maritime rescuers were able to save one single pilot whale after dozens of the animals washed up on a beach in the Outer Hebrides.

    Researchers suspect the pod got in trouble over a female giving birth.

  20. @tommyyum to this I would add the 500 pilot whales slaughtered this year in the #grind in the Faeroe Islands, an annual tragedy that get's few headlines and no "live ticker" coverage. #whaling #whales #cetaceans #dolphins #PilotWhales
    (the Guardian article headline says "dolphins", though they are called pilot whales)
