According to J.R.R. Tolkien there are in fact female orcs. However, they are not seen in battle. Now I imagine an orc counterpart to Eowyn that desperately wants to be warrior and sneaks into battle.

It's believed? By who? Source on this? I'm genuinely curious.

Boomer whales are having dementia now as a result of the PTSD from the Valdez spill.

I feel there’s a reason for this maternal behaviour. There’s far less food in the ocean so mum has to help supply food to her forever pup.

I'd be interested to see what the trend is for mixed sex children. Do they always stop having babies once there's a boy to take care of? What's the relationship between mom/daughter whales?

I wanted to skim and my brain read ‘Female orcs …’
BTW Are there any female orcs in LOTR?

Sounds like those enabler moms that have 400lb sons that don't even leave the house.

Orcas and humans are some of the only mammal species where females go through menopause. In most species, females are fertile until they die. This help that females are able to give to their offspring and grandchildren when older seems to be the evolutionary reason.

They didn't mention the part where when they ended the experiment and the dolphin stopped getting jerked off he drowned himself at the bottom of his tank.

We tried to share a language. The best translation we have of a dolphin phrase is "more handjobs please."

Well at least they don't go find a wife to replace their mom.

Concerning the orcas, that’s really not the what the article concludes, from my understanding

It really is. Dolphins and whales are highly intelligent animals, and it's believed they have quite advanced speach. Makes me wonder if they talk about how the oceans aren't providing like they used to. Obviously, they'd have no concept of the fact that a hairless land ape was causing all of this destruction.
But I always wonder why dolphins help and protect humans. There's even records of dolphins helping humans from all the way back in ancient Greece.
And when we eventually translate dolphin language, will we admit that we're the ones causing their food supply problems?

im a fatass with zero personality who eats nothing but junk but turned out 6'8 and somehow managed to snag love and gain some amount of aspiration and knowledge out of it. If i can do it, an orca can do it better.
