They were causing too much of a commotion

Because it says high speed underwater unicorn... narwhals top at 4kph, swordfish top at 64kph.

I'll take a slow actual water unicorn over some billed fish anyway, regardless of speed.

if a narwhal is a unicorn then so is a warthog

[–] Damionsipher@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Narwhals have a single horn sticking out of their face from between their eyes. A Warthog has two tusks sticking out from either side of their mouth. At least their both mammals.

The narwhal "horn" is actually a tusk, and rarely they can have two.

[–] Damionsipher@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Fair point. Still more of a horn than a fish bill.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

both narwhals and warthogs can have their teeth pierce the tops of their heads as they grow

[–] Damionsipher@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Can you explain why every unicorn horn I've ever seen much more closely resembles a narwhal tusk than a rhino's horn? Are unicorn horns even horns?!

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

narwhal tusks are teeth but rhino horns are hair

[–] Damionsipher@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But what about unicorns?! Are they tusks or horns?!

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

So, by extension, narwhals are way more similar to unicorns than a fish and perhaps it's the rhino that's the odd one out.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 2 days ago

yeah but that also mean they're closer to warthogs than either of the others
