This is a blog for those who love narwhals. Here are some narwhal facts from the informatively wonderful National Geographic website: The narwhal is the unicorn of the sea, a pale-colored porpoise found in Arctic coastal waters and rivers. These legendary animals have two teeth. In males, the more prominent tooth grows into a swordlike, spiral tusk up to 8.8 feet (2.7 meters) long. The ivory tusk tooth grows right through the narwhal’s upper lip. Scientists are not certain of the tusk’s purpose, but some believe it is prominent in mating rituals, perhaps used to impress females or to battle rival suitors. Females sometimes grow a small tusk of their own, but it does not become as prominent as the male’s. Narwhals are related to bottlenose dolphins, belugas, harbor porpoises, and orcas. Like some other porpoises, they travel in groups and feed on fish, shrimp, squid, and other aquatic fare. They are often sighted swimming in groups of 15 to 20, but gatherings of hundreds—or even several thousand—narwhals have been reported. Sometimes these groups become trapped by shifting pack ice and fall victim to Inuit hunters, polar bears, or walruses. Inuit people hunt the narwhal for their long tusks and their skin, an important source of vitamin C in the traditional Arctic diet.

Narwhals are a strictly northern species and that the Southern Narwhal was either a mis-identification of a pre-existing species or populations of Narwhals or Narwhal-like animals probably thrived around Antarctica at some point or other. One other probable creature that had been suggested was a sword fish (dark blue, high fin with the long bill that could easily be mistaken as a horn) if it weren’t for the fact that they are a tropical species.</p> <p>Reference: Mysterious Creatures: A Guide to Cryptozoology by George M.
