Whales suffer from the death of their fellow human beings

A new study by Italian scientists shows that the image of a whale clinging to the body of another whale shows a close homosexual connection, possibly a way of expressing pain.

According to NG, whales are intelligent and sociable animals. The most plausible explanation for the new study of the connection between whales is that they suffer from the death of their fellow humans.

"They are painful and stressful. They know something bad happens," said Melissa Reggente, a biologist at the University of Milano-Bicocca, Italy.

Scientists discovered many animals capable of expressing sorrows such as giraffes, chimpanzees and elephants . These findings raise the debate about whether animals have emotions. If so, how do these emotions affect how people treat animals.

According to Barbara King, an anthropologist at William & Mary University in Virginia, USA, the emotional distress of animals can be defined as a form of grief with disrupted normal behavior.

According to a new announcement on "Mammalogy - Mammal Magazine" , 7 species of whales, from giant whale fish to small spinner dolphins all have the phenomenon of sticking to the dead body.

In the Red Sea in the Indian Ocean, scientists saw an Indian Indian dolphin nose pushing a smaller dolphin. This can be either mother or daughter or two individuals with close relationships.

An assassin whale named L72 has carved an infant whale off the coast of San Juan, Washington, USA. L72 body signs indicate it has just given birth.

"He tried to keep the corpse of the baby floating out of the water during the time we observed, keeping the body balanced on top of the head," Robin Baird, co-author of the Cascadia nonprofit research organization at Olympia. , Washington, who witnessed her mother's efforts, said.

A killer whale and its offspring can stick together for a lifetime. When one dies, Baird believes, "this animal will experience the same period of psychological development as humans, when we lose our loved ones . " In addition, the killer whale also took the body, pushed the body in the water, and touched the body with the fins.

Meanwhile, the short-headed, round-headed North Atlantic whale created a protective circle around the corpse and adult fish. Spinner dolphins in the Red Sea try to push the body towards the ship. When the corpses are pulled onto the ship, the spinner dolphins swim around the ship and dissipate.

"It can't be explained why they did that," said biologist Reggente.

According to King anthropologist, sometimes this behavior is just a curiosity or a general whale's exploration . However, it is undeniable that the act of consuming energy to hold the body, hold the corpse up to the surface, or swim around, may be one way they cry for the same kind.
