Orcas are intelligent creatures that look after each other so perhaps not

One rule for Orcas
But it's not very clear, ooh bop
Cetaceans from good homes
Are stalking this year, ooh bop, fish on
It's loud and it's tasteless
I've not heard it before, ooh bop
You wear it while you're hunting
On the sea shore, ooh bop, fish on

A-riding on a pony,
Stuck a feather in his cap
And called it macaroni'."
Here is proof of said salmon-hat-trend from J Pod in the Puget Sound: https://myemail.constantcontact.com/October-29--2024-WS-Report--J-Pod-s-extended-stay-in-inland-Puget-Sound-continues---T65As---T99s-visit-Puget-Sound--T35As--T46s-.html?soid=1101447505873&aid=pFUmIudqZps
That cetaceans have complex culture has been known to science for a while but most people still haven't heard about it. And maybe more complex than we knew.
“Stop killing our food!”

I’m a bitch
I’m an orca
Sinking yachts
Just off Majorca
I’m a sinner
I’m a whale
Imma hit you with my tail
I am trying to imagine how much skill it would take to maneuver the salmon into position.
Swim around and get their fellow pod member's attention.
VOGUE!
That video of the Olympic swimmer with the glass of chocolate milk comes to mind.
Cetaceans have bigger brains than we do, and it's pretty clear they have language and a lot of our other social behaviors. This is a data point reminding us that they have "culture" as well, which used to be thought uniquely human.
Very stylish
New fashion alert.
Paint your left knee green; and extract your wisdom teeth; form a string quartet; and pretend your name is Keith.
Skin yourself alive; learn to speak arapahoe; climb inside a dog; and
I'd think a Manta Ray would flop over in a very stylish way.
Are hot now
Tough to claim we are the only... whatever it is we think we are the only of.
There is actually an orca town where the cultural divide between two adjacent orca groups remained so strong that they speciated.
I mean... who are we to judge?
