Or of playing with a puffer fish? Anything special about the smell of salmon?
Why do these whales do it? Why does anyone stick a fish on their head? Is it art, is it fashion?

But it’s alright. Salmon hat fad is a gas gas gas.
The real mystery is: how do they keep it there?
Swimming through the oceans with stuff balanced on your head must be quite tricky.

Oh, thanks, now that’s all i’m going to hear when that song gets played.

Just looked up the words to that song.
I don’t know how many times I have heard it, but I just discovered that other than the chorus I had no idea what the words were.

Certainly different :)
And only 57 views; it must be good.

I think about 10 views/day immediately after release is sufficiently low to qualify as a quality product.

Just looked up Russell Morris. I see he has quite a long recording history for a youngish chap of 74.
Was wild in the olden days, get Keef to play some jangly geetar, Mick to mumble some incoherent nonsense, smash hit every time.

Harsh?
That’s my highest praise.

Well play up to half a jangly geetar.. don’t want to overdo it
Nicky ‘opkins with some sparkling pyana..
Mmm :)
Those whales could be off their tits..

Thanks for that. I had heard that there is quite a lot of controversy about how many species/subspecies Orcinus orca there are. But I had not seen a list or poster before.
Some biologists consider the various subspecies to be species and stick a “do not disturb” label on them as if they were at great risk of extinction.
Other biologists consider Orcinus orca to be one of the most common whales in the sea and stick a “not at risk” label on them.
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (last time I looked) refuses to be drawn on the topic, and refuses to give them a rating label.
It looks to me as though someone needs to do divergence date taxonomy on these.
Or it could be that the subspecies will merge again as humpback whale numbers (one of their preferred foods) increase.

Not sure if something isn’t at risk it should be hunted/eaten

Complete mitochondrial genome phylogeographic analysis of killer whales (Orcinus orca) indicates multiple species
Killer whales (Orcinus orca) currently comprise a single, cosmopolitan species with a diverse diet. However, studies over the last 30 yr have revealed populations of sympatric ‘‘ecotypes’’ with discrete prey preferences, morphology, and behaviors.
Although these ecotypes avoid social interactions and are not known to interbreed, genetic studies to date have found extremely low levels of diversity in the mitochondrial control region, and few clear phylogeographic patterns worldwide.
We surveyed whole mitochondrial genome variation of 139 samples from the North Pacific, North Atlantic, and southern oceans.
Phylogenetic analysis indicated that each of the known ecotypes represents a strongly supported clade with divergence times ranging from 150,000 to 700,000 yr ago.
We recommend that three named ecotypes be elevated to full species, and that the remaining types be recognized as subspecies pending additional data.
(For some odd reason they recommend the three full species be “Antarctic B”, “Antarctic C” and “all other”, which conflicts severely with their chart below where there is a better case for separation into “Antarctic”, “Transient” and “other”)
Wait, there’s more..
