Whales DX with Collagenous Colitis!

That's kind of a cynical assessment of the situation, but you're probably correct. Now someone will surely put some money up to pay for some serious research.

The whales that travel up rivers, and/or beach themselves, seem to be confused and/or disoriented. Maybe they get brain fog the same way that some of us do. Tex

Yes, and/or perhaps elders leading a group of whales also developed CC related inner ear infections which cause vertigo as well as brain fog.

Also unknown was whether a severe infection of the inner ear of one of the older male whales could have played a role in the stranding.

Like dolphins, whales use echolocation (an animal's ability to orient itself by the reflection of sound it produces) for navigating, hunting and socializing.

If an elder leading any group would get off track the rest would follow natually.

Wow, interesting stuff.
