minus-squaresamus12345@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 个月前The narwhal “horn” is actually a tusk, and rarely they can have two.
minus-squareDamionsipher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 个月前Fair point. Still more of a horn than a fish bill.

minus-squareDamionsipher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 个月前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?!
minus-squarelime!@feddit.nulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 个月前narwhal tusks are teeth but rhino horns are hair
minus-squareDamionsipher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 个月前But what about unicorns?! Are they tusks or horns?!
minus-squareDamionsipher@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 个月前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.
minus-squarelime!@feddit.nulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 个月前yeah but that also mean they’re closer to warthogs than either of the others

they’re probably teeth
