An investigation of harbor porpoises (smallest whales in Europe) stranded along the coast of Scotland suggests that the marine mammals are dying because the fish that the porpoises eat, called sand eels, are in short supply. If they're not feeding, they have to use the energy in their blubber, which means the blubber layer gets much thinner," MacLeod added. This can lead to hypothermia, which was found to be the actual cause of death in the starved porpoises. "The reason the porpoises die from hypothermia is because they're so small," the marine zoologist said.
