This woman makes videos rating animals and she's so funny. This one includes her comments on #narwhals, which I know @anitakirkbride.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy doesn't believe are real. www.facebook.com/reel/3409933...

Narwhals in ice break, Baffin Island, Nunavut, #Canada. Noise from ships can disrupt the animals’ ability to communicate and find food. The research, carried out in 2023 and published this year, adds to mounting evidence that underwater radiated noise – sound energy that ships emit through their hulls, propellers and machinery – is disrupting marine life.

‘The #narwhals stop calling’: how the noise from ships is silencing wildlife in the Arctic - https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/nov/25/shipping-noise-arctic-whales-narwhals-sound-quieter-vessels

🦄🌊 Researchers at #Hokkaido University recorded 247 incidents of #narwhals hitting #underwater microphones placed 190-400 meters deep in #Greenland fjords, with the animals making foraging buzzes and rubbing sounds.

Scientists believe the narwhals may confuse the recording equipment with cod prey or use them as scratching posts, raising questions about whether "non-invasive" #research actually changes animal behavior.

So, when is geopolars coming?
maybe I want geonarwhals?

Narwale. Narwhals.

Anybody using the narwhals #python package for #dataframe manipulations?

Very comfortable with #pandas and #polars syntax, but although #narwhals is supposed to be very close to polars, it is a subset and I find that there is a lot of basic stuff missing. Trying to figure out how to get the first part of a str.split.

in pandas I just add .str[0] and in polars .list.get(0)

with narwhals neither approaches are implemented. Any idea as what is supported in narwhals to do this?

#Videos Show #Narwhals Using Their Tusks to Play With Their Food
Researchers observed surprising behaviors by the #whales in #Canada's #Arctic.
Narwhals chased arctic char but did not, strangely, try to catch and eat it. The whales even slowed down when necessary to keep the fish just off the tip of their tusks. When they did interact with the fish, they used gentle taps or nudges — a stark difference to when they were observed hunting fish.

Discover the enchanting Asian #unicorns like the #Qilin from China 🇨🇳 and the Kirin from Japan 🇯🇵.
Did you know #narwhals 🐋 might have inspired the unicorn legend? Their tusks were once sold as unicorn horns!

Narwhals may use their iconic tusks to play.

Science News reports on research showing "the Arctic whales poked and prodded a fish that isn't usually a part of their diet."

Ah yes, the groundbreaking discovery of #narwhals doing... narwhal things, now brought to you by a #drone. 🤖✨ But wait, what's that? A 400 Bad Request? Clearly, the internet gods have deemed this highly 'critical' #research too dangerous to share. 🚫🐋🔧
