I recently called a narwhal a beluga. 

Why, you ask. I’ve been trying to figure it out, too

What relay of thoughts led me to that gross error in nomenclature?!

I had just seen a man disguised as some kind of strange creature. This strange creature had single long horn protruding from its forehead.

M.y first reaction: UNICORN

But wait…unicorns aren’t the only creatures with that characteristic protruding horn. 

I remembered that there was some kind of whale that might fit the bill as well. 

I think I formed the flawed mental link between unicorn and beluga because like unicorns, belugas are incredibly adorable.

They just ooze goodnaturedpeacefulbliss from their pearly skin.  Plus, this one can paint.

Narwhals, on the other hand, well… they look tad less magical and friendly. 

I don’t know what the point of this post is, exactly. I just think that belugas are great.
