An especially popular killer whale put a dead fish on his head, in a throwback to a fashion last seen in the 1980s.

Orca whales have been spotted wearing dead salmon as hats, simultaneously charming and confounding scientists around the world. On October 25, an Orca whale from a group of whales called the J pod was spotted with a dead salmon perched on top of its head as it swam through Puget Sound in Washington State, USA.

The fashionistas of the ocean have spoken, and it’s official -- salmon hats are making a comeback among orcas.

A resident orca off the coast of Washington state was recently spotted sporting a dead salmon on its head. The phenomenon was first documented in 1987 ...when whales from three separate pods were seen wearing salmon on their heads.
