Imaginary Animals
Narwhals are exciting animals. Most people living in warmer climates would not see them as they live very far north in the Arctic. If you’re of a certain age, your first exposure to narwhals could have been from the cartoon at the beginning of Elf, which might have led you to believe that they aren’t real.
The most distinguishable feature of a narwhal is its long, spiraling horn—which also, unfortunately, makes them the subject of much unicorn mythology. Though I know they are real, it’s impossible to forget how otherworldly they look.
