Whales Breaching- Why do Whales Breach?
There are many scientific theories as to why whales breach, including the possibility of getting parasites off their skin. It has also been suggested that whales breach as a way to communicate with one-another, with the breach acting as a signal to other whales (UCSB Science Line).
