Strange new spelling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryde's_whale From the article: Bryde's whale (/ˈbrʊdəz/ BRUU-dəz Brooder's), So kind of a phonetic misunderstanding.

jaiyen Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I saw an article a few weeks ago about these whales in the gulf of Thailand. Due to overfishing the whales are starving. They have devised a new method of feeding and are having to work in groups to round up small fish, cos thats all there is ! and take turns in grabbing a mouthful. They are in trouble and are desperate to find fish. Thats why they visited the National Park. Completely the opposite reason to what the officials said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
