@bonzoesc narwhals are cool but not as cool as unicorns smdh

@theoutrider @noiob I… went narwhal ('cause my irl friends did) and imo it's wild that they actually exist as a real life critter out there skewering fish by swimming real fast or whatever they do

@bonzoesc @theoutrider wait they don't actually do that right? It's mostly for show and mating-related rivalry fights?

@noiob @theoutrider I seriously doubt they do that lol, they don't have any way to getting fish off there without teamwork

@bonzoesc @theoutrider I used to be very into dolphins as a kid so I read a thing or two about narwhals. Just looked it up, the tusk is a sensory organ and apparently the males rub their tusks together ("tusking") sometimes for unknown reasons, so they don't even really fight with them

@noiob @theoutrider whoa cool

I double-checked just now that they weren't baleen whales
