Whales are very large animals, and under normal circumstances, their life span is relatively long. But they probably won't live that long before they die. There are many possible causes of whale death:
1. Human hunting: a large number of whales are killed by human hunting, especially in some countries, because they may form a relatively large-scale whaling team and then go to sea to hunt whales together. Human hunting is an important reason for the abnormal death of whales.
2. Marine pollution: Recently, due to human activities, pollution has become increasingly serious, and the ocean has not been spared. If the whales live in the ocean, pollution can affect their life span or cause them to die.
3. Stranding and death: In addition, some whales die every year because of stranding. There are many reasons why whales are stranded, maybe because they are stranded when they are hunting for food, or because they are stranded carelessly when they avoid something, etc. Aft being out of wat for some time, they may die.
4. Normal death: a small number of whales may die a natural death, but the probability is relatively small.
As mentioned above, whales may die for various reasons. After a whale dies, their carcass may explode because some explosive gas accumulates in their body. In addition, some whale carcasses may be washed ashore with the current. Whale carcasses may also fall because their bodies are very heavy.
