I've heard of them, but I am somewhat of a nature geek.

How about the Narwhal mounting the Nunavut Coat of Arms? They look to be such gentle lovers.

The government doesn't want you to know about them.

They are pretty cool though.

I'm guessing they don't hang out down at the local adult book store. That's why you haven't seen them, fotze.

Yes, I've definitely heard of them. Then again, I'm a huge nature lover. Narwhals are cool. They look like uglier belugas.


Nunavut Coat of Arms.

I wonder if they taste good... Cedar Planked Narwhal, Cajun Blackened Narwhal, Lemon Herbed Narwhal, oh, the possibilities...

The zoo wanted to get permission to capture one of these for their Arctic exhibit that is being built.

The zoo, in the old polar bear exhibit, had a narwhale tuck set up that you could look at...

It's always cool when you discover an animal that you didn't know about before. A few years back when I was at the London Zoo there were 3 animals I had never seen before, nor even knew existed.

One was the "Giant Anteater"
http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgur...%3Den%26sa%3DG

Another was the pygmy hippo (which I believe have since visited the Calgary Zoo but at the time they were new to me).

But the strangest was an animal called the "Okapi". Related to the giraffe but an odd looking create in its own right. Never heard of it before. Never had seen pictures of it. Had no idea it existed.

Serioulsy WDF is this thing?

I've heard of them before. However, if you watch "Elf" you will see that one of Buddy the elf's friends is a Narwhal

Want to read a great book and learn more about narwhals and sundry other arctic wonders? Check this one out.

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...iencemusing-20

Outstanding book. Anyone else read it?
