Whales live in the ocean. They would not have been killed by a food.
When the waters receded, the whales—which were floating in the water—would have receded along with the water.
Bacon. Bacon can clog your arteries.
And if the whales are diabetic, sugars and starches. Whale diabetes is no joke.
The water recedes in the creek that flows throw our valley ever summer. Every summer, the birds feed on the fish that died because they did not go back to the lake.
Never seen fish stranded in pools when a river/tide/flood subsides? I have, not an infrequent occurance. Think fish getting trapped in a pool as the water recedes on a BIG, whale-scale.
Like this: There is a valley, it gets flooded and the flood also covers the mountain range that seperates the valley from the ocean (Great Central Valley of Calif). As the flood waters subside, the whales are still frolicking in this new place they’ve never seen before, and don’t notice that the tops of the mountains are above the water, cutting off their route to the oceean. Time paases, water keeps dropping and the whales all colllect in the deepest part...which eventually becomes their graveyard.
Plausible
The receding of the waters after the Flood could indeed explain this. If the waters had gone over a ridge, and the whales are doing OK in a deep enough pool, but then the waters recede and the ridge traps them in a now diminishing pool—yes, that would fit the case perfectly. I’m not saying that IS the explanation, but it is a realistic possibility. It could have been THE Flood, or perhaps another flood of sufficient size. An analogy would be when the tide comes in and then things are trapped in the tidal pools when the tide goes out.
“Whales live in the ocean. They would not have been killed by a food. When the waters receded, the whales—which were floating in the water—would have receded along with the water.”
The area they were in might have been deep enough but their escape routes might have become too shallow when the waters retreated. It’s like how some sea life gets caught in little pools in the rocks when the tide goes out, only on a larger scale.
All the water being suddenly put on the earth would have caused all kinds of problems. Some parts of the crust would have sunk and some parts would have risen. This would have happened very quickly and all over the place. The whales got stuck.
Sad that you actually had to explain this to someone. One would think that a Freeper was smarter than that.
