Dude that author should be ashamed of themselves. How could you report on the topic and NOT provide a pic? Geesh.

A jaunty chapeau! Perched just so!
*Salmoned just so!
(perch are too freshwater for this trend)
She had style! She had flair! She was there…
That’s how she became- the Orca!
stylish
Makes sense. Fashion is cyclical.
Yeah, these young orcas today think they know it all. Always vandalizing yachts, and harassing the poor seals. I’m like just eat your food. Stop flinging it around.
It’s not too late!
Ahh yes, MOGA. Make Ocean Great Again. Those guys.
This for some reason made me think of Anya Taylor Joy
She could definitely pull of the look…
It’s a sign. People are going to start planking again.
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.
“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:
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?
I’m completely guessing, are they able to create suction with their blowhole?
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.
'90’s fashion is making a comeback here too, but damn… Didn’t expect that to extend to the ocean
Its called fashion, look it up.
Whale skibidi
Fashion is cyclical, as they say.
Its not a phase mom
Fish being cruel to eachother, it’s the same everywhere.
Orcas aren’t fish
Well, they are technically fish. Just like we and all other tetrapods are
Are we all bacteria too?
It’s basically impossible to have a complete phylogenetic tree of bacteria and how they relate to eachother vs how they relate to common ancestors with the original eukaryotes let alone multicellular complex life. Prokaryotes as far as I know are seen as being a completely different branch more related to eachother than any eukaryotes so no, not really. Fish are a much more problematic group to exclude tetrapods from because bony fish like trouts, tuna etc are significantly more closely related to the tetrapods than either are to sharks and the other cartilagenous fish, all of which are more closely related to eachother than to the jawless fish like hagfish and lampreys.
Tldr, if both trout and sharks are fish then monophyletically people also fall under the category of “jawed fish”

Monophyletically they are, orcas (and people) are far more closely related to bony fish like trout than any of those are to sharks. If trout and shark are both fish then monophyletically so are we and orcas.
