KILLER WHALES CRAFT KELP TOOLS FOR SOCIAL GROOMING

In a remarkable discovery, researchers have documented wild Resident killer whale (Orcinus orca ater) manufacturing and using tools in a social context. Observed in the Salish Sea from April to July 2024, members of the endangered southern resident population were seen detaching short lengths of bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) and using them during tactile interactions with a partner, a behavior the authors call allokelping. This behaviour differs from playful kelp draping commonly seen in cetaceans, whales in this study deliberately fashioned kelp segments using their teeth, positioned them between their bodies, and coordinated their movements to roll the kelp across one another’s skin.

This represents a potential case of tool-assisted allogrooming, a behaviour rarely documented in non-primates and never before in marine mammals. Statistical analyses suggest that allokelping may serve both hygienic and affiliative functions, being more common among close kin and individuals of similar age, and possibly linked to skin molting. The whales’ use of their entire bodies, rather than limbs, to manipulate the kelp, and the mutual benefit of the interaction, make this a unique form of tool use in the animal kingdom. If confirmed, it would expand our understanding of cetacean intelligence, culture, and the evolutionary roots of cooperation.

i feel like a whole pokey puppet in reprised might be too much plus idk where youd fit it but if they could maneuver the lighting (like a shadow effect) to put pokeys face over the stage or within the cracks along the walls or something just put him somewhere In the show simply watching i would call it better than the og show cmon cmon cmon

just imagine if the meteor blinked KDLSJDSLJD

out of the trilogy black friday definitely has my favorite set design because it has Any set design, even if tgwdlms lack of it does work in its favor the loft and the way they use it to set shit up is just so good. the most obvious example of course is wigglys appearance in the black and white, and the little garland and the stage lights that have been sitting there all show suddenly becoming tentacles and eyes shifting in the dark and so high above howie is just SO GOOD AUGGHHH!!!!
