"It is impossible to establish a definitive connection between stranded animals, and natural disasters, despite the large amount of data collected," said Mridula Srinivasan, marine biologist and researcher at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the United States. "Mammals aground for several reasons," said. The dean of the KS Hegde Medical Academy, on the west coast of India, Arunachalam Kumar is convinced that when a marine mammal stranded on the coast is a sign that there will be an earthquake. Kumar predicted an earthquake caused a tsunami in December 2004, and announced through an electronic discussion group of American Natural History University of Princeton, three weeks before it happened. "My observation, confirmed over the years, the mass suicides of whales shows the event is related to changes in electromagnetic fields and possible realignments of tectonic plates," wrote Kumar in a 2009 analysis of pilot whales stranded in November 2004 off the coast of Tasmania in Australia. "After calibrating the epicenters with dates displayed stranded animals, I have reasons to believe that major earthquakes occur one to two weeks after it beached whale watching," he added. The earthquake of 9 degrees on the Richter scale on December 26 of that year caused the Indian Ocean tsunami that left 230,000 people dead. "I do not believe in the theory of a connection between stranded mammals and the occurrence of natural disasters," oceanographer disagreed Indian Kularni Sarang. How many animals have been stranded without an earthquake, asked IPS.
