  I’m thinking more of a lure, have some nice rotten salmon smell leaking out of your “hat” and hope that some tasty fish, sharks or seals show up looking for a meal.

    IIRC Orcas are one of the species that does shit that appears to have no biological advantage. Other species of dolphins do too.

    Dolphins as a whole have some really creative behaviors, especially in social circles. And it appears that they do these things “for the hell of it.”

      Dolphins will get high on poisonous fish and pass those around like a blunt.

      If humans are any indicator, they might also be doing things because they think it’s an advantage but actually does nothing.

    Both a fashion accessory and a perfume. Touche.

    Do they eat salmon? Maybe they are signaling to the humans that their ships and garbage are killing off their food.
