January 6, 2013 - Whale Conjoined Twins

CaliforniaMama · 01-06-2014, 07:25 PM

The twins were found in a Baja California lagoon yesterday.

Sadly, they did not survive.

Conjoined twins have been seen in other whale species, but this is the first recorded gray whale find.

The twins were not full term and were probably miscarried.

One expert speculated that the mama whale may even have died as a result.

That *is* sad. And strange.

Yeah, it bummed me out along with the report of the Japanese taking more whales illegally...

That's the *cough* spirit.

Makes me wonder how often this happens, because mostly what happens in the ocean, stays in the ocean.

My first thought was not Japanese whaling but the Japanese nuclear disaster at Fukushima.

You may have a point.

SPUCK · 01-08-2014, 05:25 AM

or two?

It appears a lot of shit is being blamed on Fukushima that shouldn't be. Some that's not even true.

BigV · 01-08-2014, 09:15 AM

Only a salp believes that shit.

I don't think it is a very good idea to downplay the possible end results of the Fukushima meltdown.

It's not just that. Here in the States, even in California, they are finding frogs with some seriously weird birth defects. It's fertilizer getting in the water and chemical dumpage from manufacturing plants and medicines that we flush or pour down the drain that can't get filtered out by the water purification process.

We could all be on Prozac and not even know it!

If it was in Japan, there would be video of it being shoved up someone's nono place.

What? It would be.
