#ThatsWild: Checkout this extraordinary footage of a kelping #humpback whale. 🐋 What is #kelping? It's the term for when whales play with #kelp, often by wearing the course seaweed as a hat or swirling around in kelp beds. Some scientists speculate that the kelp may provide a sensory experience, and likely feels good, like an exfoliating spa day. Kelping could also be a form of play used to strengthen social bonds. If you've ever walked along a seaweed-strewn coastline, you may have played with some kelp too and can understand the appeal. 📹 used with permission by Slater Moore Photography and Davey's Locker Sportfishing and Whale Watching #marinemammals #whales #oceanwildlife #humpbackwhale #cuteanimals
