Taxonomy Tuesday



Two horns are mos def better than one.
Today I will tell you the taxonomy of a Narwhal. Cause those things are cute!
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Suborder: Odontoceti
Family: Monodontidae
Genus: Monodon
Species: M. monoceres

I don't know about anyone else, but I love being able to throw down latin. Makes me feel smart even if I have no clue what I'm saying.
About three years back a friend and I had a math class together, i used to draw weird shit and pass it to her in a note, and she would draw the sickest drawings of narwhals for me. She also did seals really well too. After ripping apart the deepest corners of all my drawers I couldn't for the life of me find any of our old drawings! I did however find in my year book a lovely note from her saying, "wipe my butt and lick my barf." I swear we were close.
