    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?!

        narwhal tusks are teeth but rhino horns are hair

              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
