Weekly Animal Pic - Narwhal



This is one strange animal, almost mythical. This whale is found in Arctic waters. The tusk you see is actually his (or her) tooth. Imagine having a tooth that big! Scientists are not certain what the tooth is used for, perhaps fighting, but this shy reclusive creature does doesn't like to hang around long enough for us to find out...

San Nakji for President!

Narwhals are cool. But, my favorite is the beluga (sp?) whale. They always look like they are smiling! hehehe
