•Killer whales bring back wearing salmon hats, but it’s not for fashion
83% Informative
Scientists don't believe killer whales are sporting dead salmon in the same way people rock a Stetson , baseball cap or a beret.
The trend was exciting because it showed how nonessential behaviors could be learned that orcas could create a culture.
But they can also just as quickly die out, which is what happened to the salmon-hat craze of 1987 .
Wearing salmon might feel good against an orca’s skin.
But they are probably not wearing it as a hat insofar as they are showing off their fashion sense or expressing their individuality.
That interpretation probably reveals more about the humans doing interpreting than the behavior itself.
