The Northern Bottlenosed Whale normally lives in the deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean.  It has now been spotted in the Thames River.  See: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/4631396.stm

There have been several large earthquakes in the North Atlantic along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the past few weeks, see: http://www.iris.edu/seismon/

Many scientific observations have been made on the strange behavior of animals preceding earthquakes and other natural disasters.  Whales have the ability to echo-locate using sonar.  Does this whale sense an impending life-threatening event?

Is this coincidence?  Or, is this whale running for cover?
