It's Saturday, I'm Jenny and it's another big weekend | 0:00:13 | 0:00:15 | |
of sporting action - first up, it's the Six Nations. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
And one of the tournament's biggest games takes place later - | 0:00:18 | 0:00:21 | |
Wales take on England in Cardiff. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
It's the 130th time they've played. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
Last week, Wales beat Italy and England squeezed past | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
France to keep up their 15 match winning run. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:29 | |
Here's the Welsh captain, Alan Wyn Jones. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
You come out and you've got 75,000 fans that | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
are there for what's hopefully | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
going to be a good 80-minute game. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
You realise you're in a very fortunate place and you get to enjoy | 0:00:46 | 0:00:50 | |
the anthem before the game. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
Hopefully we can put smiles on faces. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
And we want to know what you think will happen. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
Can England keep their winning record going | 0:00:59 | 0:01:00 | |
or will Wales beat them? | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
Go online and let us know. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
Volunteers in New Zealand have managed to re-float about 100 | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
of the 400 pilot whales that became stranded on beaches on Friday.Sadly | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
many whales have died and it's thought another 200 many have | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
got stuck overnight. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
It's the worst case of this type the country has ever seen. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
It's not uncommon for these animals to become beached like this. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
But why does it happen? | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
Here's what you need to know. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:26 | |
Beaching is when whales become stuck on sand and it can be very | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
dangerous. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:30 | |
Marine scientists then have one clear reason to explain why | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
it happens. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
Here are some of the theories. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
It's thought some whales become stranded because they are | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
sick or injured and are pushed in shore by currents, or are simply too | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
ill to swim. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:48 | |
Whales rely on something called sonar to work out | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
where they are and where they are going. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
They send sound waves or pulses which bounce back of surfaces. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
Some ships use of sonar pulses, too. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
They have been linked to whales getting stranded because | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
scientists think if the two crossed paths, the whales could become | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
confused or injured. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:08 | |
It's thought changes in the environment could | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
cause them to behave differently, too. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
Perhaps food stocks are low, temperatures are unusually high | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
or low, or the water they are in has become polluted. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:20 | |
Even whales make mistakes. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
It is thought they can sometimes lose their way into | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
shallow waters by accident while travelling to warmer waters to mate. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
Whales are very sociable creatures and often travel | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
in large pods or groups. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:31 | |
Marines think if any whale is affected by any of the last four | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
reasons, any travelling with it will copy them. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:41 | |
That's all from me, for now, Newsround's back | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
right here at 11.55. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
Bye! | 0:02:45 | 0:02:51 | |
