The Internet Is Obsessed With This Puppy Named Narwhal Who Has A Tail Growing Out Of His Forehead

A rescue puppy with an apparent second tail growing out of his head has been described as a “little anomaly that's absolutely perfect." And, we would have to agree.


The 10-week-old dog has been taken in by Mac's Mission – a rescue operation that specializes in helping dogs with special needs – after being found wandering the streets and given the name Narwhal, because the protuberance resembles a horn.

“He's literally the most magical thing you've ever seen, and so happy," Rochelle Steffen, founder of the Missouri-based rescue center, told the PA news agency. “Everybody wants to see him. I've had so many volunteers that have come over and said 'hey, can we play with Narwhal?' And it's now become the thing to take selfies with him because he's just so cute."

Narwhal visited the vet on Tuesday where X-rays showed there were no bones in the “tail", which does not wag, and he was given a clean bill of health.

Steffen said her rescue specializes in helping “janky" animals that would not “get a chance anywhere else."

She said they have had a dog with five legs, a three-legged dachshund, blind and deaf animals, as well as dogs with cleft palates and mange – but she has never previously seen anything like Narwhal.

“Everybody has said that it looks like a tail that just didn't develop fully, like he might have tried to absorb a twin and it just didn't work all the way," she said.

“It kind of curls right down under his eyes. We deal with such unique animals here that we love to let them keep their uniqueness."

Twitter is obsessed with Narwhal.


We all have the same questions.

Too much power.


Even narwhals approve.

While Steffen's preference would be to leave the second tail untouched, she said they will remove it if it starts to grow inwards or to get in his eye. And for his safety they will not adopt him out until they are satisfied it will not develop into an issue further down the line.

“We don't want to adopt him out and two weeks later it does become a problem," she said.

For now, he is “just a normal, happy, healthy puppy" who is getting lots of attention.

“Everyone sees him and they literally want to rip him out of my arms immediately," Steffen said.

“It's been really good for our itty-bitty rescue to have such a rock star in our midst because all this attention is helping so many of our other dogs," she continued. "He loves it, he's like, 'who's going to hold me next?' He's just this little anomaly that's absolutely perfect."

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
