Rare Whales Appear off Scotland, Heat Wave Blamed
Unusually large numbers of dolphins and whales have been sighted off the eastern coast of Scotland this summer, including several species that are rare in these waters.
Scientists believe the sightings may be the result of the heat wave currently gripping the U.K.
There are plenty of the whales. More than about 40 whales were sighted on more than one occasion. This means that the world isn''t how it was when everything was normal.
Different groups of sea creatures have been seen enjoying themselves near fishing areas. Creatures such as dolphins have been spotted summersaulting in the distance.
Whales and dolphins are not unusual around the coast of Scotland, but they normally favor the west coast because of the warmer, deeper waters there, experts say.
Different Pilots in the sky have been reported to see these whales too. They could very well be changing thier migration routs too. Who knows what other effect global warming will have on us. It could lead to many species of animals becoming extinct.
Is global warming doing this? It could be a verry good possibility. Ocean creatures should stay in the ocean. If salt water fish end up in lakes and streams, they could all die out. That would be a terrible experience. We all can stop global warming and save the animals, but most people choose not to.
