It's hanging over the sliding doors that look outside into the yard. Anyway, so narwhals, you know, the males, they get the really long ones and they use it, they found to stun fish. They will use it to stun fish. And they use it kind of as an attraction to the females. The longer horns get more females. Who do you regard as the most- Does size matter? Size matters with narwhals.
Not necessarily with humans though.

Wow, that's a hard one to answer. You know, narwhals are certainly interesting, but I think belugas are really fascinating. All the whales to me, all the cetaceans are very fascinating animals. You know, you gotta look at the blue whale, Jesus Christ, it's the largest animal that's ever lived, bigger than any dinosaur, than any animal has ever lived, is still living on this planet, the blue whale.

Well, yes, you know, like a lot of whales. I'd have to go to another room to show it to you. But I mean, like whales are we called toothed whales and we have baleen whales. And I have actually baleen from a whale, which is like this huge piece of like keratin with filters on it, like hairs. And that's how they collect all the food that they eat. The biggest whales, blue whales, humpback whales.

These are baleen whales. They don't have teeth. They don't eat. big fish like people would think. They siphon food out of the water, shrimp and different types of invertebrates and things like that. It's really kind of cool stuff. But all the whales to me are incredibly intelligent. I've said it on this show before, I don't believe that whales should ever be in captivity.

I believe that these animals are pelagic, they're nomadic. And I don't believe you should ever take a whale out of the wild and put it in captivity, unless you're trying to save that individual animal's life.

Oh, that's got to be the killer whales, guys. You know, we've talked about it before. You've watched these killer whales. They work like teamwork. You know, you'll see a seal on an iceberg saying, okay, I'm safe. The thing can't get to me on the iceberg. And all these killer whales get together and they get all right next to each other and they create this huge wave, like a tidal wave.

So the tidal wave hits the iceberg, knocks the seal off, and the whale's on the other side waiting for it. Boom, they eat it. I mean, think about it.

I've had that happen. I've had a humpback whale breached literally probably less than 30 feet, maybe closer to 20 feet next to the boat. It is one of the most exhilarating things you can ever-

it's look at me louis because you've had that happen to you as a sentence you love to uh to utter around here and it's a good sentence i'm just trying to tell you i'm not speaking i'm not speaking from something i saw on television i'm trying to relate to you that this is something that's really it's hard to describe in words guys when something that massive comes out and there's no like there's no alert there's no saying okay he's coming up on this side now get ready get ready no all of a sudden just whoosh

The thing comes out of the water and it's so huge. It's so amazing. It's exhilarating. I don't think that, you know, I don't feel like, for instance, oh my God, we're going to die. I never feel fear. It's one of these things where you just feel, wow, just absolute wow.
