The findings show that the brain pathology in stranded-toothed whales is similar to the brains of humans affected by clinical Alzheimer’s disease.

Whales, dolphins, and porpoises are often found stranded in groups on beaches, and in dangerously shallow waters. Sometimes, teams of experts move these animals to safer and deeper waters, but not all animals are lucky.
