New research provides fresh evidence for killer whales' exceptional intelligence, documenting how these marine mammals use stalks of seaweed as tools to groom each other. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/25/world/science-health/killer-whales-seaweed-tools/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #killerwhales #whales #oceans #mammals
Our favorite headline so far today: "Orcas may be able to make and use tools, with a little kelp from their friends.'''
From NBC News: "Researchers using a new drone say they have observed killer whales finding and modifying stalks of kelp to preen each other."
This is so cool. Hopefully they'll start using sledgehammers on those yachts soon 🐋

Sperm whale spotted in Monterey bay today (not very common)!
I like that I read this post and saw ‘tail database’ and I knew exactly which one (happy whale)
Can’t wait to get back in the water and see some whales (I get to go any time I want for free hehe)

Humans aren't the only species using tools — or DIY beauty products, for that matter. @ScienceAlert shares this story about orcas fashioning pieces of kelp so that they can groom each other as they swim.
"Killer whales have been observed mutually grooming each other with a type of seaweed, the first known instance of a marine animal using tools" https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jun/23/killer-whales-kelp-grooming-tool-use
And THIS is why when I post a science story, I try to only post from news outlets that are dedicated to science. #BBC, there was NO REASON to make this sound like sordid, soft-core, whale porn 🧐 #Science 🔭🔬🧪🥼🧑🔬 #MarineBiology 🌊 🐳 #Whales #Orca
Humpback #Whales Are Blowing ‘Bubble Rings’ at Boats. Are They Trying to #Communicate? https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/humpback-whales-are-blowing-bubble-rings-at-boats-are-they-trying-to/ #biology #science #STEM
#Scientists from the #SETI Institute and the University of California at Davis documented, for the first time, #humpback #whales producing large #bubble #rings, like a human smoker blowing smoke rings, during #friendly #interactions with #humans. This previously little studied #behavior may represent #play or #communication.
