What is a Narwhal?
Narwhals are unique whales that live in the cold Arctic waters. They are known for the long, spiral tusk that males have, which is actually a tooth that can grow up to 3 meters long. Narwhals can dive deep into the ocean, reaching depths of up to 1,500 meters, and they feed on fish, shrimp, and squid. They live in groups called pods and communicate with each other using clicks and whistles. Narwhals have a mottled gray and white skin, and they can live up to 50 years in the wild. They are well adapted to their icy environment, with a thick layer of blubber to keep them warm.
