Orcas Are Wearing Dead Salmon as Hats, And Scientists Are Stumped

A group of orcas off the west coast of North America has brought back a bizarre fashion trend not seen since the late 1980s: wearing a single dead salmon on their heads as if it were a hat.
Experts are at a loss to explain why orcas would want to wear fish in the first place, let alone why they would want to bring back the practice almost 40 years after it stopped.
The salmon hat craze was first observed in 1987 when a female orca in the Puget Sound area of the northeast Pacific was seen carrying a solitary dead fish on her nose. Within a few weeks the behavior was picked up by members of other pods, suggesting something about it must have appealed.

Salmon Hat would be a good band name.

The Orcas wearing the flat billed salmon hats are the worst.

My question is very basic. How in the world are the dead fish staying on top of the Orca? Are they just there a few seconds while they surface?

It’s a sign we are about to experience another 80s conservative movement.

Because orcas are the dickheads of the oceans. That's science.
