The answer is simple. The orcas do it because they can.

There really should be a law granting sentient protection to whales. They are magnificent and show obvious intelligence and self awareness.

Ever see dogs in the back seat of cars at a stoplight grab their toys and show off to dogs if there are any in the car next to them?

I had a pet rabbit. It was a great pet. Rabbits definitely have as much personality as a cat or dog but, being a prey animal, they are far more skittish and need to be handled calmly to keep them from freaking out.

Sea Turtle to Orca: “Don’t look down, but I think you just dropped something.’

Orca: “What?..(Splash!) Hey!”

Sea Turtle: “I told you not to look down! Thanks for the snack!”

Thankfully, they aren’t wearing lasers on their heads!

I believe it is New Years on the Orca calendar. They wear funny hats to celebrate.

Why would whales do that? I mean, what species would do something like that with another?

Contrarian that I am, prove to me it’s not a salmon wearing an orca under its belly.

Obviously, part of the Orca 1%, showing off her wealth by wearing it. Thats what happened in 87 ... pretty soon all the Orca society members wanted to be seen as the elites, so they all started doing it. Died down when they realized everyone COULD do it, so it was really not showing them as special. Now, Nellie P Orca saw a pic of granny with a salmon on her head and we all know how much Nellie loves her grandma and Nellie thinks she is better than all the other Orcas, so she is reviving the tradition.

Another crazy tik tok challenge, obviously.

Maybe the pink pussyhat crowd can make a change.

The Ladies really go for a guy with a salmon on his head.

Maybe it was a gift for a hot orca chick.

Fellow bubbleheads wore that song out on a sub I was on in the late 70’s early 80’s. I hate it now, but it does bring back some good memories of some old friends.

They’re probably doing it for the clicks.
