99 narwhals? How many football fields is that? And bananas? If we stop using standard units I’m lost xD

The average weight of an adult male narwhal is 800 to 1,600 kg (1,760 to 3,530 lb)
Using https://www.converttobananas.com/weight-converter/ that's 7054 to 14109 bananas per narwhal....
or 698,345 to 1,396,791 bananas for 99 of them
