Mass stranding of Cachalots in Japan

2025, July 29. Japan, Tateyama City, Chiba Prefecture, Eastern Japan. A mass stranding of four Cachalots (sperm whales). Contrary to reports on social media, the whales came ashore before the earthquake. A woman walking her dog located the whales, and the first phone call to police was made around 1800, 14.5 hours before the earthquake. See: July 21 Fireball, over Kouzushima Island in the Izu Islands 110km SW of the stranding. Will update further fireball data and images.
