                        For a long time, we thought only humans and other primates practiced the loving act of mutual grooming. But now, scientists have discovered that orca whales do this, too — using kelp!

                        Grooming is an important act that helps solidify bonds and also promotes physical health. Mutual grooming means that two or more individuals benefit at the same time, requiring coordination and collaboration. And killer whales (also called orcas) have apparently been practicing this behavior all along!

                        The whales bite off large portions of kelp, drag it over to another whale, and maneuver the plant between their two bodies. Then, they work together to rub the kelp between them, cleaning them of parasites and dead skin. Not only are they cooperatively cleaning each other — they're also using tools!

                        And these smart, social, and complex animals urgently need our help. As climate change continues to worsen, it is disrupting their main food supplies, including salmon — and it's also killing off the kelp they've been using in their mutual-grooming rituals.

                        We must take action to help save orcas, as well as the food sources and kelp they need to stay alive and healthy. In order to do that, we absolutely have to fight climate change. There is no other choice. That's why we're demanding that the UN hold countries to their Paris Climate Agreement promises. Will you help us? 



                        Promises are easy to make — but they only count if nations actually follow through on them. Sign the petition now to protect orcas and their ecosystems!

                        P.S. Orcas — and all other life on Earth — deserve our respect and our protection. We have to do what we can to help keep their communities vibrant and thriving, and that includes by fighting climate change. Sign the petition.
