That narwhals are real. Partner thought they were mythological like unicorns.

Honestly, it was funny but somewhat understandable.

I didn't know jackalopes were fake until I was 30

That's silly. Everyone knows they are unicorns, driven into the sea by the Red Bull

driven into the sea by the Red Bull

There were some unicorns that joined forces with the Red Bull. This union is what created the alicorns.

I thought they were rescued by Amalthea-- but maybe some of them liked living in the ocean by that point and hung back

Someone had to explain to me relatively recently that buffaloes don't have wings. And by the same best friend of mine who thought chocolate milk comes from chocolate cows.
