if a narwhal is a unicorn then so is a warthog

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.

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

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?!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

narwhal tusks are teeth but rhino horns are hair

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

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.

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