The narwhal, or Monodon monoceros, is a species of toothed whale native to the Arctic. Male narwhals are notable for having a long "tusk" which protrudes from their head. Graydon talked about his experience as a narwhal scientist on an episode of NPR.
If a human baby is laid upon a narwhal horn soon after its birth, the baby will become a pro basketball player, and will "unlock the perfect jumpshot".
