A new study has revealed how cetaceans are being harmed.
Cetaceans are marine animals like whales, dolphins and porpoises. Cetaceans can be found all around the world today; they are some of the most beautiful animals in the animal kingdom today. It is estimated that there are around 90 different species of dolphins, whales and porpoises in the world today.
A new study from the Zoological Society of London, has revealed the harms that cetaceans face in the wild today.
The study from the Zoological Society of London has revealed that harmful pollutants in our waters is harming the fertility of male marine animals.
This could be particularly harmful to those marine species which are endangered and critically endangered today, as, fertility is especially important to endangered and critically endangered species, to insure the continuation of animals for the future.
Fertility is also important for marine animals that aren't critically endangered or endangered today, because fertility is important for the continuation of every species. Therefore, pollutants harming marine animals is not good news.
The Zoological Society for London also revealed the most common reasons why whales, porpoises and dolphins become stranded on beaches.
When marine animals like whales, porpoises and dolphins become stranded on beaches, it is known as the animals being 'beached' or 'beaching'.
The study consisted of 12,000 cetaceans, of which consisted of 22 different species of cetaceans. They found that 54% of the cetaceans who died because of being stranded, died because of 'traumatic causes'. The most common cause of death in cetaceans was because of them being a victim of bycatch or entanglement.
There were other top causes of deaths too, which included the cetaceans having infectious diseases and them dying through starvation.
By creating safer oceans and seas, which are not polluted or a danger to cetaceans, we can create a world which doesn't harm cetaceans.
