Do other fish wash out to shore? why did orcas do?

Ok, so i drag some water from the ocean the threw it back in. At the place where i threw it it was land, 30 tiles from the ocean. So the group of orcas threw one orca at a time , after dancing for a while, on the wet floor. They drowned one after the other. The last one seems to only go 1 tile to the shore then jump back in. - Tsester 16:12, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

EDIT: Drowned orcas - shore.png

EDIT: I had made the ocean cliffs into slopes

EDIT: a jellyfish came 2 tiles away from the ocean, then went back in

Are you saying that the orcas walk out onto dry land and drown, or do they swim to areas of ground covered by water? Also, aquatic creatures will usually attempt not to drown by getting back into water if they can. --Lethosor (talk) 18:13, 24 February 2013 (UTC)
I believe they jumped out of the water. - Tsester 00:19, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
So they jumped out of the water onto dry land? I haven't seen that happened before, but I don't often embark on oceans. That sounds unintentional, but interesting. --Lethosor (talk) 02:03, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure if the tile where each landed was dry or wet. - Tsester 06:35, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
