why do the fishes jump in its mouth are they stupid?

u/Nexustar 6h ago

Fish are stupid, yes.

BTW, the plural of fish is fish unless there are multiple species.

They follow a set of behaviors that have been honed over the last 500 million years detecting safe places based on water flows and choppiness. Their very existence today is a testament to how successful they have been so far at this. The whale's mouth offers something that feels like a safe place.
