Spyhopping is a behavior orcas are regularly seen doing often used in social situations. When they lift their head above the water they are able to see what's going on above the surface level around them and are able to spot prey that may be hiding on rocks. This behavior is also often seen after a successful hunt and in social interactions with other whales. So although a spyhop may have a beneficial purpose to their hunting it also seems to be a fun little behavior used during playtime. #orca

(First of all, excuse the old footage 😆) This is a great example of a spy hop! Spy hopping is an awesome behavior that some species of whales do where the whale sticks the head out of the water. It's often thought to be an interactive behavior because many think the whale is "checking out" It's surroundings. 👀 Remember, ethograms describe behaviors. They don't explain why they occur! | Whale and Dolphin Conservation

I’ll take a spy hop over a breach any day! They dont bring as much water open when whales spy hop so it can be a really clean look at the animal! ❤️ #killerwhale #orca #nature | Slater Moore Photography

Jake Mason - Wildlife Videographer on Instagram: "A curious humpback whale spy hopping right by the boat - details captured in 3 angles. The patterning and details in the humpbacks is astounding, and tells so many stories of what they’ve been through."
