Punted seals. Sunken yachts. Beach ambushes. And salmon hats? What’s even happening with killer whales? Are they sadists, or just hungry hungry hippos turned marine mammals? The Natural History Museum of LA County’s marine mammal expert&nbsp; Dr. Jorge Vélez-Juarbe joins the show to chat about peachy babies, how their language is like a trucker radio, tiny whiskers, the formal wear, what’s with the nubbin teeth, if you should go whale watching, pod sizes, Indigenous folklore, captivity struggles, whales that meow, fatty melons and so much more. Also: baby whiskers. Spooktober continues, with these aquatic killers.&nbsp;Visit Dr. Vélez-Juarbe’s <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/velezjuarbe/" rel="noopener noreferrer">website</a> and follow him on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/boritherium/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=v66fxrIAAAAJ&hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google Scholar</a>A donation went to the <a href="https://www.oarra.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ocean Animal Response and Research Alliance</a>Save the Academy Virtual Rally: Thursday, October 15 at noon Eastern.<a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__O6gwBQ6S1S8zScp_vflEw" rel="noopener noreferrer"> Register on Zoom</a>More episode sources and linksOther episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/oceanology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Oceanology (OCEANS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/delphinology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Delphinology (DOLPHINS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/selachimorphology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Selachimorphology (SHARKS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/elasmobranchology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Elasmobranchology (MORE SHARK STORIES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/pinnipedology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Pinnipedology (SEALS & WALRUSES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ichthyology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ichthyology (FISHES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/mammalogy" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mammalogy (MAMMALS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/functional-morphology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Functional Morphology (ANATOMY)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/hyaenidology" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hyaenidology (HYENAS)&nbsp;</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic" rel="noopener noreferrer">400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic</a><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248" rel="noopener noreferrer">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras" rel="noopener noreferrer">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies" rel="noopener noreferrer">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social" rel="noopener noreferrer">Bluesky</a>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies" rel="noopener noreferrer">TikTok</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Jake Chaffee</a>Managing Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek&nbsp;Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kelly R.
