Their vestigial hip bones serve as an anchor point for their genital muscles. Those have to anchor somewhere or the whale can’t reproduce

  That’s probably what drove them into the water in the first place—everyone laughing at the way they walked around.

    Oh, they got some biggins. Some even get electric wheelchairs to move about. I hear West Virginia has the most though.
