Could Turkey & Syria earthquakes be behind these whale deaths in Cyprus?

Record number of dead whales wash up on Cyprus shores

Newsroom February 15 09:45

A number of whales washed up dead on the northern shores of Cyprus last week.

It is thought the deaths could be linked to the massive earthquakes in neighbouring Turkey and Syria.

A pod of four beaked whales were found beached in Argaka, Paphos, on Thursday. Locals managed to guide three, which were still alive, back to sea. The fourth died, according to the Cyprus department of fisheries and marine research.
