Whales "commit suicide"

Whales, commonly known as whales. In fact, fish are not fish, but mammals in the ocean. However, this animal seems to get bored with life most easily.

The following year, another 32 sperm whales ran aground in Adany Bay. /kloc-In the 8th century, some navigators found a terrible whale graveyard in Tass, and piles of rotting corpses and bones were scattered on the beach, showing a terrible scene.

I can't answer this difficult question. " Plutarch, a famous ancient scholar, explained the phenomenon of whale stranding as "collective suicide". This is obviously unscientific. Because whales can't have as rich feelings as human beings, and once they run aground, they often appear frightened and even make a tragic cry for help.
