Whales have evolved for 50 million years is seismically-active waters, thus, evolution has had ample time to bring about ways to protect sea mammals from undersea earthquakes.
One way this can be accomplished is by equipping whales to detect earthquake precursors signals.
Since all major earthquakes, like the big 2011 quake offshore of Japan, emit strong precursors, the whales were able to detect this event long before it happened and move far enough away to prevent injury.
The Japanese people should study how whales detect big earthquakes, rather then hunt them down and kill them.
It certainly seems like bad karma for Japan to continue slaughtering the very sea mammals that could save their lives.
