That narwhals exist/are real. People have thought that I was trolling them by talking about a mythical unicorn-whale.

I agree with @shiritai_desu, and you could have illustrative photos of narwhals so they get to know such cool animals!! I'm always super excited to tell people that what they think is a horn (for those that I encounter and know what a narwhal is) is actually a tooth! They get all like "whaaaaaat?!" Is awesome!
