ANother odd beastie of my story. The Sand Whale lives in large pods in the desert known as the "Dry Sea". They seem to be evolving backwards, from orca's into more reptilian creatures with thick armored scales everywhere but the blowhole, hinge of the jaw and eyelids, whcih have smaller scales for flexibility. Their skeletons and large armor scales are prized as building materials.
