Here comes a sting ray
There goes a manta ray

In walked a jellyfish
There goes a dogfish
Chased by a catfish

In flew a sea robin
Watch out for that pirahna

There goes a narwhal
Here comes a bikini whale!

Cool video, but get this:

"They are following the retreat of the sea ice as they have done for thousands of years"

"However, we cannot yet see any direct effects of climate change on the narwhal."

Do they not realize the stupidity of the second statement? If the whales have been surviving for thousands of years, do you think they've experienced warmer and colder environments during that time?!!? Sheesh!!
