  1. They also are doomed to lose their first baby because us humans keep pumping lipophilic PFAS toxins into the oceans, mostly from the ungodly amount of plastics we throw away. Orca have a larger and more developed amygdala than we do, so they feel the loss of their baby even more deeply than we do. Hi. Actual marine mammal zoologist. Don't use plastic, kids.

  2. 8:50 Hi, marine mammal zoologist here. It's our fault orca babies keep getting murked. PFAS toxins from our plastics are lipophilic, and through biomagnification and bioaccumulation, orcas are full of them. That poison then goes into their milk, and straight into the baby. They also have a larger and more developed amygdala than we do, so they feel the loss far more than any human. And that's saying a lot. It's because of us and our plastic use. All y'all are just as responsible.

  3. As a marine zoologist, I love confusing people by saying hippos are cetaceans.
