　　Perhaps the whales get confused. Scientists who studied the beaching of three dozen whales inAustralia think the whales may have been confused by loud noises. Whales can tell where they are bysounds. They send out sounds and listen as they travel past or bounce off objects. Two days beforethese thirty-six whales beached, loud guns had been fired for two hours. The loud sounds may haveconfused the whales. Their confusion might have caused them to wander into low water.

　　Whatever the reason whales beach, it is a sad event. People try to save them, but very fewbeached whales live. One whale that was rescued from beaching in Florida lived for forty-five days.That is the longest a beached whale has ever survived. And it lived that long only" because it got at-tention from doctors.
