Humpback whales are “least concern” and the first images we have of them fucking is male on male.

There are lots of ways that having homosexual behavior in animals can help a species survive. Gay couples can raise orphans, sex can serve as a form of social bonding or even dominance to maintain social structures… It’s an uncritical high school student’s understanding of evolution and biology to assume that all adaptive behavior directly leads to reproduction.

I smell an aquatic sequel: Humpback Trench

In stead of Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger when he was alive, it'll star an actual humpback whale and the remains of no longer alive Heath Ledger

Heath Ledger will still be amongst a whopping 64 posthumous Oscar nominees, but the only one to be nominated for posthumous accomplishments.
