Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years
Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 years
Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

Mongostein @lemmy.ca They’re trying to show us the destruction we’re causing
8 0 ReplyGrimy @lemmy.world I'm almost certain orcas have near human level intelligence but because of their lack of suitable appendages, this is their only way to show it.
They are trying to talk to us and we are too stupid to listen.
15 0 ReplyLord Wiggle @lemmy.world "near human level intelligence" well, they are smarter then the average US citizen, that's for sure. I prefer to wear a dead salmon as a hat a million times over voting for Trump. It's the smarter choice. Orca's are like dolphins:

massive_bereavement @fedia.io Only 80s orcas will understand it.
24 0 ReplyTropicalDingdong @lemmy.world It's a sign. People are going to start planking again.
26 0 ReplyJoeyJoeJoeJr @lemmy.ml Under water, with no hands, how are they getting the fish in place? And perhaps more difficult, how do they keep it there? Anyone aware of a video?
11 0 ReplyGlitterbomb @lemmy.world I'm completely guessing, are they able to create suction with their blowhole?
4 0 ReplyJoeyJoeJoeJr @lemmy.ml Some people have posted pictures in the thread now, and it looks like you might be correct. Seems odd - the blowhole is analogous to a nostril. Sucking something against your nose a swimming seems like it would be uncomfortable.
