Love them or hate them, Odobenocetops leptodon was an extremely strange whale that was as sister to Monodontidae, the family that includes the Narwhal. That being said, their tusks developed independently and in Odo, they were uneven with the right side being considerably longer!

Asymmetrically tusked lovechild of a whale and a walrus but definitely a whale.

Keep thinking about how we think of Odobenocetops (extinct tusked cetacean) as having one extremely long tusk and one very short but we only actually have a single male skull so this could have just been an anomaly and maybe they normally had two short tusks, or two long ones?

Le mindfuck du jour offert par : un fossile, non pas d'une espèce apparentée au Morse... Mais d'un cétacé ! Remarquez notamment l'asymétrie bizarre des défenses d'Odobenocetops leptodon! https://t.co/b30LcLynk6

Odobenocetops was a bizarre toothed whale from Peru & Chile. It looked like a cross between a walrus & a narwhal, with a elongated tusk. Its right tusk could grow to 1.3 metres, but the left one was just 25 cm.
