During the show as well they mention some dolphins beach themselves and eventually die. They said they believe this to be a "mass suicide". Is it possible that some dolphins (possibly hereditary, or by species, etc.) somehow follow a certain pattern of the magnetic field each year, or however long of a timeline between migratory periods, and the beaches interfere with this pattern throughout time? Meaning, the dolphins follow the same pattern each time but the beaches evolved in areas that were previously open ocean on the migratory route?  o are porpoises larger than dolphins? iv'e been telling my grandfather that dolphins are longer than porpoises, am i right?   o Why is it that dolphins sometimes use other dolphins as "footballs"? o It is 10 or 12 months of gestation?
