Orcas off the coast of Washington State are balancing dead fish on their heads like it's the 1980s, but researchers still aren't sure why they do it.

        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)

            It can go from suck to blow.
