Have you ever seen a real unicorn? My kids tell me they exist but I have never found one.
I've only seen that legendary creature in movies. I remember it being in a Harry Potter movie.
Well perhaps they have yet to be discovered. They could be living in a remote jungle somewhere.
Perhaps people used the tusk of the narwhal to try and pass on the myth of unicorns.
Hah, what is a narwhal anyway? Sounds like a really funky creature.
It's a whale with a tusk on it found in the same family as the beluga whale.
Ohh I see. I never knew some whales had tusks. I think of walruses when I hear that.
It lives in Arctic waters, so not very well-known outside of Canada and Russia.
That explains why I never saw one before. I wonder if the tusks are used for defense.
It is. The males have a long, straight elongated upper canine which is the tusk.
