what whales species participate in group orgies at yearly mating season?

One of the most intense competition for mates in the cetaceans occurs in the right whales (Eubalaena glacialis and E. australis).\n\nGroups of males mob the females, and attempt frantically to mate with them.  Sometimes there are penis wrasslin' matches as the males each try to be the one who gets his genetic material in the right location.\n\nFemales, especially after several males have already harassed her, will often roll away or otherwise discourage the males.\n\nBecause of the intense competition, the right whales have the largest testicles in the animal world (about the size of Volkswagens), and produce copious quantities of sperm.  They use the blasts of sperm to try and blast any of their competition's sperm out of the way.\n\nI've heard stories (I can't confirm if it's true) that on at least one occasion a Zodiac boat carrying whale researchers got too close to the action.  The female used the Zodiac to block her naughty bits, and the researchers found themselves in the middle of the battleground of two right whale penises.  Both males thought they were successful and let blast, coating the researchers with massive loads of whale sperm.\n\nIn Chris Moore's novel "Fluke", this event occurs to two female researchers, who promptly become lesbians.

some whales mate on their sides at the surface and roll over periodically; as far as breathing goes, even if they werent at the surface, they can hold their breaths for pretty long periods of time. certain whales have also been known to mate in groups, but im not personally sure how this works..\n\nanyway, most whale sex is underwater actually and pretty quick, and no they dont get stuck.\n\nif you are really looking for details, here is a good quick site:\nhttp://whale.wheelock.edu/archives/ask00/0221.html

Spy-hopping is when a whale (grey, great blue, orca or otherwise), dolphin, or porpoise and/or other related sea mammal; rises vertically out of the water with it's head and mouth first and scans the entire surrounding area while rotating.

Japan.\n\nThey still send out whaling ships to kill whales.\n\nKeep in mind, that just because it is illegal in some countries to kill whales and dolphins, it doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. People just don't get caught. Or, sometimes they are accidentally killed in fishing nets.

squid and the whale.\n\nIt is painfully humorous.

Yes, they are. Just as in humans, animals often form long-term same-sex relationships. In animals with a seasonal breeding pattern, homosexuality can even be seasonal. Male walruses, for example, often form homosexual pair bonds and have sex with each other outside of the breeding season, but will revert to a heterosexual pattern during the normal breeding season.

Basking sharks and whale sharks are fish that eat plankton that a killer whale may try to eat. Killer whales eat gray whales, minke whales, blue whales, and sperm whales but they are all mammals and not fish.

I would guess Japan, the killer of whales & seals. It could be China but Japan seems to think less of animals.

I've only found one reference to this behavior, and the original publication is in Russian. Orcas are social mammals and it would take extremely stressful circumstances for cannibalism to occur.

Dolphins are mammals just like us, and so like us they also sexually reproduce.  The male dolphin inserts his penis into the female dolphins vagina where he releases his sperm and so fertilizes the egg.  They kind of float/swim belly to belly.  Their genitals are located on the underside somewhere near the tail.
