SIX whales have died after beaching themselves again not far from they were released in Western Australia.
They were among 11 survivors of a group of 80 whales which became beached along the coast of Western Australia on Monday.
So~ Can whales live on shore?
No, whales cannot live on the shore for an extended period. They are marine mammals.
Whales like Dolphins need for their skin to be wet all the time, also in water they are basicly weightless and their physiology is such that when out of water for extended periods of time they become very tired from just the incredible effort it takes just to expand and contract their lungs.
