In pricey spas, kelp facials and body wraps can set the esthetically inclined human back hundreds of dollars. But in the Salish Sea off British Columbia, southern resident killer whales are also using the sea plants for what scientists suspect are grooming purposes.

    hate the word “groom”, so much suspense between reading groom, and reading if the good groom it the bad groom.

      Those dog groomers are so proud of what they do, too.

      How the fuck do you think science works? This is the first time the behavior has been observed. They need to confirm it over time.

      Eh? Scientific method can be summarized as ‘stating your beliefs then trying to disprove them’.
