Narwhal

                              Narwhals


                    Something bobs in the water. A tusk sticks out. It's a Narwhal. The Narwhal is one of the most adored and endangered animal in the world. People think of it as s cute, but most people hunt them.

                    The narwhal is gray and whitish in appearance. The narwhal also has many black spots. The male narwhals have big tusks. Male narwhals use their tusks to fight other males to see, who's the king and who gets to mate.Many people have mistaken their tusks, for horns. People kill narwhals for this precious piece of keratin.  It lives year-round in the icy cold waters of Arctic waters around Greenland, Canada, and Russia. The narwhal is one of two living species of whale in the family Monodontidae, along with the beluga whale. You might be asking yourself how do narwhals live in very cold waters. Narwhals have extra skins of blubber. Blubber is fat wet skin. Blubber also has a type of oil on it. This type of oil allows them to swim smoothly in the water.

                    Fun Facts:
Scientific Name: M. Monoceros

Narwhals are called "unicorns of the sea"

Narwhals use echolocation

                    Sure, the narwhal is truly the mythical unicorn of the sea, that is real. It would be truly good to see. So, when I be a zoologist(I really want to be a zoologist, a person who studies all animals), I will see one. It will be as if I was in a dream.

Intro

         This blog isn't any old blog about people and their life. For this is beyond that. This blog is about cool and unique animals that are endangered.

Pangolin

                                        Pangolins                    I'm probably writing about this animal because my grandma had an encounter with this one. She didn't hunt it. It came to her 😮! My grandma didn't know what it was, so she called me and I told her it was a pangolin.                    A pangolin is an endangered animal like the Orangutan, which is in another post. A pangolin may get extinct. A pangolin is hunted for it's hard protective keratin. Oh, I forgot to mention, pangolins have a protective outer layer of keratin. So it is extremely rare to have an encounter with one.                    They usually live in Australia, Africa, India, and Indonesia. There are less than  1,000 pan...
