Sometimes the ocean reveals moments that feel more like choreography than biology. What you're seeing is mating behavior of the Southern right whale. This is one of the most remarkable whales on Earth.

Can you mark this as nsfw? It is animal sex after all.

Are they having a 3-way? I knew whales knew what was up.

When whales bang, straight up another whale will swim underneath them holding them up. Whales are the realest homies.

The "Wingman" Function: The third whale helps prevent the mating couple from drifting apart, which keeps them positioned correctly…. Truly fascinating 🐳

I see that it was on the post before you cross-posted it. Not your fault. You could've freshen like 20 seconds to write a little something. This isn't Instagram.

You know the dead internet theory? I prefer to rage against the dying.

Rage is a strong word. I said it because it goes hard.

Really, I just want ppl to be aware when they're being shown something that isn't genuine. It's more of a danger on sites that give the algorithm more control, like tiktok, insta, yt shorts, etc.
