Name translation

Is it just me or does "Odobenocetops" mean 'whale-like walrus' or 'whale-face walrus'? Jerkov 20:34, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the book adaptation of Sea Monsters, it says: "the whael that seems to walk on it's teeth". It's kind of funny 'cause it's such a mouthful. But there is a "face" in "Odobenocetops", now THAT'S kinda strange... Dora Nichov 09:53, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tusk use

"It might have been used to search out food, or as a sensory organ like narwhal tusks."

This statement doesn't make a whole lot of sense. How could it do either of these things, when the tusk is pointed backward alongside its body? 71.217.98.158 00:02, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could the external link be removed, please...? It's inaccessible anyway - I've already tried it... Noble Korhedron 21:44, 25 October 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noble Korhedron (talk • contribs)
