Twitter was awash today with theories that the bizarre deaths of
more than 100 stranded pilot whales in New Zealand may have been
a warning that an earthquake was going to hit.
There have been TWO mass whale deaths on NZs South Island in
less than three weeks.
In the latest bizarre incident on Sunday, less than 48 hours before
the earthquake hit, a pod of whales beached themselves near
Cavalier Creek on Stewart Island.

VeganWheekers asked: Could there be a connection between the

107 whales that died on New Zealand beach yesterday and today's
earthquake? while TV New Zealand added: "has anyone noticed the
correlation between beached whales and earthquakes?"
Following the discovery of 30 stranded pilot whales on the island
earlier this month, RadioLive breakfast show host Marcus Lush
tweeted that an earthquake greater than five would hit in the next
week.
In the past, there have been examples of whales beaching
themselves before major earthquakes, most notably before the 2004
Boxing Day tsunami.
Around 170 whales died in Australia and New Zealand in the months
before the underwater earthquake in the Indian Ocean.
The resulting tsunami killed over 230,000 people in 14 different
countries.
Dr Arunachalam Kumar, a professor from India, believes there is a
connection between the beaching of marine
mammalsandearthquakes.
Three weeks before the tsunami, he was alerted to the whales
deaths, and wrote: It is my observation, confirmed over the years,
that mass suicides of whales and dolphins that occur sporadically all
over the world, are in some way related to change and disturbances
in the electromagnetic field co-ordinates and possible realignments
of geotectonic plates thereof.
I would not be surprised if within a few days a massive quake hits
some part of the globe.
Scientists are currently speculating that the cause of death of New
Zealand's pilot whales is due to sound reverberations in shallow
water.
