Narwhal

Narwhals are Arctic marine mammals known for their distinctive long, spiral tusk extending from their upper jaw, which can reach up to 10 feet. They belong to the whale family and primarily inhabit cold Arctic waters. Narwhals are social creatures, often traveling in groups called pods, and feed mainly on fish and squid. Their tusks are believed to play roles in communication, navigation, and mating displays. Adapted to icy environments, they have thick blubbery bodies to insulate against the cold. Narwhals are unique and vulnerable species, facing threats from climate change and hunting.
