Dude that author should be ashamed of themselves. How could you report on the topic and NOT provide a pic? Geesh.
So they stretch it over their fin or what, how is it staying on
Through sheer audacity
I was thinking, perhaps by sucking through the blowhole, but I haven't looked it up yet so don't trust me
Does the blowhole do in? Would that not make it a suckhole? I am admittedly ignorant in whale anatomy.
I thought the blowhole had reverse ?? like, this is what they breathe in through, isn't it ?
Apparently yes : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowhole_(anatomy)
Yeah it definitely must be, here I am thinking they're mouth breathers.

A jaunty chapeau! Perched just so!
*Salmoned just so!
(perch are too freshwater for this trend)
In my experience, finding a relevant image in an online article is a 50-50
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.
Ahh yes, MOGA. Make Ocean Great Again. Those guys.
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:
Only 80s orcas will understand it.
"oh, so we stopped being weird and y'all still made anti planet governments in charge? okay. then we're going back to being weird and violent. fuck you"
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.
Fashion is almost always uncomfortable
Beauty is pain; and pain beauty.
Correct! High heels are seldom comfortable and rarely rational.
Maybe the orcas are trying to show off that they are hard and can hold their breath longer?
They’re trying to show us the destruction we’re causing
Jailbreak from the factory farm. "Quick, no time to explain! Pretend you're my hat!"
Whale skibidi
Skibidy Salmon dum! dum! dum! yes! yes!
'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.
Fishion
So it's not just humans who are into the 80s…
Fashion is cyclical, as they say.
It'll be the latest trend at the Orca's this year.
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"
