His full name is "Narwhal the Little Magical Furry Unicorn," according to dog rescue nonprofit organization Mac’s Mission, which took him in after he was discovered last Saturday.

根據非營利狗狗救援組織「Mac’s Mission」，牠的全名是「納沃，神奇的毛茸茸小獨角獸」，該組織自從上週六發現牠之後，就一直帶著牠。

The tail on Narwhal’s forehead is short and stubby, sprouting right between his eyes. He has a normal tail, too, this one is just extra.

納沃頭上的尾巴粗粗短短，長在牠的雙眼之間。牠也有正常的尾巴，這個是多的。

Narwhal is not yet ready for adoption, Mac’s Mission said online － but that hasn’t stopped his fans from wanting to take him home. The organization has already received over 50 adoption applications for him, a spokesperson told CNN.

「Mac’s Mission」透過網站表示，納沃還沒有準備好被收養，但這並不能阻止想把牠帶回家的粉絲們。該組織發言人告訴美國有線電視新聞網（CNN），已接獲超過50份收養申請。
