Golden Years
Golden Years
Do whales often go blind in their golden years?
Do they experience the other symptoms of aging like weakening bowels, confusion, loss of memory, and such?
Yes, whales, just like all animals, experience the ravages of aging.
Blindness wouldn't be as much of an issue for whales as deafness would. Toothed whales (Sperm whales, Orcas, pilot whales, etc.) use sonar to find their prey and communicate with each other. A deaf whale is at a severe disadvantage.
Often when whales wash up on shore scientists can do basic assessments to decide how old the whales are.
When whales get old they are less able to feed themselves and are more likely to have larger loads of parasites. They may be more susceptible to being struck by ships or weakened by entanglements.
Baleen whales can have severely worn baleen (the brushy filters in their mouths instead of teeth) and some toothed whales will have severely worn teeth.
Loss of memory or confusion issues are unknown, but dolphin trainers can confirm that old dolphins can become very stubborn and perhaps confused.
