Whales are very valuable creatures to study, and in the process of studying them, researchers often find that they jump out of the sea. When they jump, they will be very strong and make a loud sound, and then they will suddenly fall back into the sea and make a huge splash. Whales don't just jump out of the water, they jump in many ways. There is a "belly beat" jump, which means that when they jump, the whole back is upward, and the abdomen will fall back into the water first. There is also a "straight type", which is more powerful.
Biologists have conducted relatively in-depth research on the issue of whales jumping out of the sea. Studies have found that the reasons why whales jump out of the sea are quite diverse, and there are some different opinions among biologists. The following reasons are possible:
1. Breeding season: In some studies, whales have been found to increase the frequency of jumping when they reach breeding season. For example, male whales are very active during mating, showing their strength by jumping, attracting the opposite sex and demonstrating against the same sex.
2. Connection: In other studies, biologists have found that jumping is not only a means for whales to attract the opposite sex, but also a means for them to connect with each other. When a group of whales is about to separate or gather, their jumping phenomenon may increase significantly, because whales are a kind of animal with more group activities.
3. Recreational activities: Sometimes, whales jump for no specific purpose, just for entertainment, just like humans when they are excited. Moreover, some studies have found that juvenile whales jump more than adult whales, just like children and adults, which is a very interesting phenomenon.
