#3 Assumed accident, of course, but got to wondering whether those rascals might not mess with a floating carcass. Swish-n-squish, see what shakes loose, and ptooey? Or how about "Just a pinch between cheek and gum?"

#4 Whale was probably coming up on a school of krill or small fish with its mouth open (as they do).

Kayaker was most likely hovering over that school.

#9 An ancient beluga from Perm
Whose noggin was roomy and firm
Once went on a cruise
With some dissolute blues...
And she just reached the end of her term.
At university, silly. Everybody knows you can't get pregnant like that. Especially at her age. [Quiet Flows the Don sung by W.C. Fields]
