I like the bit about also carrying mammals around under their fins

Salmon hat and sea lion purse

Me too! I'd never known that! That's really fascinating information.

They are so strange and I love them for it.

How long do orca live? I want so badly to think somewhere there's an older whale going "oh god not the bell bottoms again"

I think it says in the article somewhere that they think some of these are the original hat-wearing orcas, so, at least 40 years?

Google says 50-90 in the wild

So: probably

Yeah! They live to be grandmother matriarchs just like us: they go through menopause and mentor younger generations! So I bet there definitely are orcas all "of all the tings to bring back.." as well as older orcas enthusiastically leading the trend charge
