Do whales like to play?
Although they are very big, whales can be playful. Sometimes they pop their heads above the surface and flow motionless. This behaviour is regarded as ‘logging’. Some whales, like humpback whales and orcas, leap right out of the water, which is known as ‘breaching’. Whales also stick their tails out and splash them around. This is referred to as ‘lob-tailing’.
