Maybe because all life originally came from the ocean? They don't understand that the animals that exist now are not the same as the common ancestors we share with them. And they definitely don't understand that whales' ancestors left the water, but then they came back!

Ok, that's not completely insane... but would they also claim that we descend from octopus or starfish? Why whales?
