問題詳情:
Scientists smiled as the three young whales swam through the ocean, turning over, jumping, and racing one another in circles around the ship. After spending seven months in a 60,000 gallon (228,000-liter) pool at the New England Aquarium(水族館)in Boston, Mass, the whales were now free.
The pilot whales, named Notch Small, and Tag, had been staying at the pool ever since they were saved after running aground on a Cape Cod beach in Massachusetts last December. Although about 60 other whales died during that running aground the three young whales were saved and
nursed back to health. Last June, the whales were freed from a ship about 120 miles (152 kilometers) off the coast of Massachusetts. When the three whales finally swam away from the ship. scientists on board cheered. The event, say the biologists, marked the first time that a group of whales has been saved, cared for , and freed back into the wild.
No one knows what causes whales to run aground. Some biologists think that gently sloping beaches may upset the whales’ sonar systems(聲納系統). Whales find schools of fish and other objects by bouncing sonar waves off the objects. When a whale approaches a gently sloping beach, the sonar waves may bounce away(反*)from the whale instead of toward it. The whale may end up in shallow water and run aground.
Other experts think a leader of a group of whales becomes ill and beaches itself. Because whales often band together, other whales soon follow, running aground as well.
