The narwhal, is a species of toothed whale, and the only member of the genus Monodon. Its closest living relative is the beluga whale, and cases of interbreeding between the two species has been recorded. It is sexually dimorphic, as adult males are larger than females and have a long single tusk that can be up to 3 m. The narwhal has a mottled pigmentation, with blackish-brown markings over a white background. Instead of a dorsal fin, the narwhal possesses a shallow dorsal ridge which is thought to facilitate movement under the ice, or reduce surface area, and so heat loss. An adult narwhal is typically 3.0 to 5.5 m in length and 800 to 1,600 kg in weight. Carl Linnaeus scientifically described the species in his 1758 work Systema Naturae.

Narwhal and human cultures
The Inuit people of the Arctic have hunted narwhals for centuries for their meat, skin, blubber and ivory. They also consider the narwhal to be a symbol of their spirituality and connection to the natural world. The Inuit legend of the origin of the narwhal's tusk involves a woman who was dragged into the sea by a harpoon and transformed into a whale.
Inuit
The Vikings traded narwhal tusks with other European nations, who believed they were from the mythical unicorn. The tusks were valued for their rarity, beauty and supposed magical properties. Some medieval rulers, such as Elizabeth I of England, owned narwhal tusks as royal treasures.

Greenland is the home of the largest population of narwhals in the world, and the whale is an important part of its culture, economy and ecology. The Greenlandic government regulates the narwhal hunt and supports scientific research and conservation efforts. The narwhal is also featured on the Greenlandic coat of arms and the national banknotes.
Greenland
Denmark is the former colonial power of Greenland and still maintains a close relationship with the island. The Danish royal family owns several narwhal tusks, some of which are displayed in the Rosenborg Castle and the Amalienborg Palace. The Danish Natural History Museum has a large collection of narwhal specimens and skeletons, and conducts research on their biology and evolution.
Denmark
Canada is the second largest narwhal range state, after Greenland, and has a significant Inuit population that relies on the whale for subsistence and cultural purposes. Canada also hosts many narwhal researchers and tourists, who seek to observe and learn more about the elusive and endangered animal. Canada is a signatory of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species, which regulates the trade of narwhal parts.

A Whale with a Tusk
The narwhal is a medium-sized toothed whale that lives in the Arctic waters. It has a distinctive feature: a long, spiral tusk that grows from its upper lip.
Life cycle
Narwhal tusk development
The left canine tooth of male narwhals grows into a long spiral tusk, which may have sensory functions.
Narwhal vocalization
Narwhals communicate with clicks, whistles, and pulses, and use echolocation to navigate and hunt.
Narwhal diet
Narwhals feed on fish, squid, and shrimp, mainly at depths of 800 to 1,500 meters.
Narwhal migration
Narwhals migrate seasonally between summer and winter habitats, following the movements of sea ice.
Narwhal social behavior
Narwhals form groups of 5 to 10 individuals, and sometimes join larger aggregations of hundreds or thousands.
Narwhal mating
Narwhals mate in the late winter or early spring, and may use their tusks for courtship or competition.

Medium-sized toothed whale that lives year-round in the Arctic waters around Greenland, Canada, and Russia.
Males possess a large "tusk" from a protruding canine tooth.
They change color as they get older. Babies are a mottled blue-gray, young narwhals are blue-black, adults are mottled gray, and old narwhals are white.
Able to reach depths of more than 5,000 ft (1,500 m), they are one of the deepest divers of all marine mammals.
Narwhals swim belly up and lie motionless for several minutes, earning them the name “corpse whale.”
