More than 150 melon-headed whales beached themselves in Japan in the past week, which has ignited fears that another earthquake will hit the island nation.
The same thing happened four years ago when 50 melon-headed whales beached themselves six days before the destructive March 11, 2011 quake and tsunami that caused huge damage and loss of life.
