Question
One of these animals named after Mocha Island appears in a J.N. Reynolds article published in The Knickerbocker magazine. These animals are classified into “Folio,” “Octavo,” and “Duodecimo” types by a character who feels a “damp, drizzly November in his soul” before staying at the Spouter Inn. After one of these animals bites off a man’s leg, he uses a prosthetic made of these animals’ bones. A character yells “from hell’s heart, I stab at thee” after a white one of these animals destroys his ship, the Pequod. For 10 points, what type of animal is pursued by Ishmael and Captain Ahab in Herman Melville’s novel Moby-Dick? ■END■
