On february 24th a whale worker, named Dawn Brancheau, was working with a whale named Tilikum when the whale grabbed her by her ponytail and pulled her under the water. For a long while people thought that she died from the whale killing her but a recent autopsy showed something different. The autopsy showed that she died of drowning and taumatic body injuries on her spine, ribs and head. She ended up with fractures on her jawbone, ribs and to her cervical vertebra.
I found this to be a very sad story. This lady had been working with this whale for a long time. It is interesting how animal's behaviors can change so unexpectedly. I wonder what happened to the whale and why the whale decided to grab her and drag her under the water. That would make for an interesting research. To research how animals think and what they think about and why they do some of the things they do.
