Why do whales die on land even though they breathe outside water?
gpt
1. Their bodies aren't designed to be supported by a hard surface. Their buoyancy in water supports the whole body evenly and prevents the crushing of internal organs.

2. They overheat. Whales are very well insulated and rely on the water around them to keep them at a livable temperature.
