I think I’ve found the answer for that in the news the last few days. Mass beaching of whales are an annual phenomenon that has baffled scientists over the years. Some blame it on the ultra-low frequency sonar used by the US Marines, some blame it on climate change. I believe I’ve found the answer. You see, whales are sentient beings who are self aware. That means that they could be like us and that there is a probability that they do believe in the concept of God.

The concept of God has historically made humans do crazy things equivalent of whale beaching… Heaven’s Gate mass suicide, crazy Japs gassing themselves in cars the annual stampede in Mecca etc… they all believe in one thing. That it will bring them to a happy place.

This means that whales could have beached themselves with a belief that this will send them to Whale Heaven.
