Homonym: breaching (Violation)
Breaching refers to the act of a marine mammal, such as a whale, leaping out of the water and then crashing back down. This behavior is often seen in species like the humpback whale and is thought to serve various purposes, including communication, navigation, and removing parasites from their skin.
In addition to whales, other animals like dolphins and seals also exhibit breaching behavior. While the exact reasons can vary, breaching is generally associated with playfulness, social interaction, or even displaying strength to potential mates or rivals.
