Why do whales jump out of the water?
Like the humpback whales in this video.
What's the purpose of this behavior? Is it just playing or does it have a different reason?

6 RepliesThe same reason they beach themselves. They’re obviously trying to evolve back into land animals. They tried the water out for fifty million years and decided it’s too cold. Now they want to get out of the pool.

I like to think of it as a reverse cannon ball.

Enjoyment. Cetaceans (whales and dolphins) are highly intelligent. Their calls are highly complex means of communication....and its suspected that dolphins have near-(adult) human levels of intelligence. (By comparison your typical adult dog has a level of intelligence and problem solving ability on par with that of a human toddler). A particularly smart dog perhaps that of a three year old.

To breath, and it's fun.

To get to the other side?

Maybe it's fun. Maybe it's so they can breathe (they need to breathe out of their blowholes right?). Maybe it's for some entirely different reason, I don't know.

They're tired of swimming in all that pee.

The splashes make long distance noises that they use for communication. The noise from the loud splashes doesn't get drowned out by boats and stuff.
-
2 RepliesBecause WEEEEEEEEEEE! *splash* I've read several theories, most recent suggests it is a form of communication, apparently for distances/situations where "singing" doesn't help.

They’re just having fun.

So we can take pictures.

Because they're afraid of the water.
