The Narwhal Pod @narwhalpod.org · 30/06/2026

Our schedule for the week! Join us for game night, a new adventure inside a whale, and @thepipiper.bsky.social 's crazy Tier List of all 413 Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Villagers!

The Narwhal Pod was founded in 2018 by a group of Twitch streamers who strived for an all-inclusive place to play games and hang out. We quickly recognized the need for a community dedicated to helping protect the oceans. Since then, we have built tutorial videos for streamers, provided resource guides, honorarily adopted multiple sea creatures, and hosted our own charity event.

The weekly schedules highlight the main channel for the group, and the streams from our three Pod Leaders, Weptlong, OnixpectedOtter, and ThePiPiper.

This week we will be hosting our monthly Game Night in Discord playing some Meccha Chameleon on Wednesday.

On Thursday, we will playing "A Completely Ficitonal Story About a City Inside a Whale" at 7PM CET/1PM EST.

On Sunday, ThePiPiper will be upholding their donation incentive to rank ALL 413 Animal Crossing New Horizons' Villagers! So buckle in for a crazy stream as you watch them lose their mind over 8-12 hours.

Male lumpsuckers build nests to show off their great parenting skills! Once a female selects his nest, she will lay up to 350,000 eggs and leave. Afterwards, the male fertilizes them and stands guard, protecting and oxygenating the clutch for 4 to 8 weeks until they hatch.

Cardinalfish dads carry fertilized eggs in their mouths to protect them. They don’t eat while brooding, only releasing the eggs briefly to clean and oxygenate them. Some even shelter the babies after hatching until they outgrow dad’s mouth.

Orcas live in tight family pods led by moms, and sons stay for life. Males don’t raise their own calves, but they help teach and care for siblings, nieces, and nephews. In a way, every male orca becomes an important figure to the pod’s young.

Seahorses and pipefish are perhaps the most famous dads of the sea. Mom does all the work producing healthy, fertile eggs, but when it comes to protecting and incubating the eggs, that's dad's job.
