yes they can jump, however they are strictly limited to jumping only in the northern hemisphere on full moon nights in leap years. caution: if viewed by the naked eye blindness will occur. the highest recorded leap by a whale was 71 feet 3 inches by an orca whale on may 22, 1952 off the midway islands in the north pacific.
