Unicorn and Narwhal Renamed

Fun with Greek names!

 Continuing on the theme of the last comic, we now have another rename! "Mono-dente-tops" would mean "one-tooth-face" because narwhals have a tusk which is actually a tooth that pops right through their lip and sticks out like a horn. So there's that. Some even have two tusks. Others have none. They're kinda fascinating creatures. I could say more but the baby is crying so I gotta go attend to her.

Triceratops vs Monoceratops

 

A discussion of horns

This came from a discussion on trichotomy vs dichotomy which will come in a later comic. But to dissect the word "tri-cerat-ops" you get "three-horn-face" so a unicorn would be a "mono-cerat-ops" or "one-horn-face." Or perhaps a "uniceratops", that could work too. Rhinoceros just means "nose-horn" but since they have one or two horns on their face/nose then they could be in the same category as a unicorn i.e. uniceratops or monoceratops OR they could be diceratops.

Unicorn vs Capricorn


I know next to nothing about astrology, but I'm pretty sure that's not what a Capricorn is. But I like it - a nifty way for a horse to be more than a horse while not quite attaining the level of unicorn.
