Narwhal Pod by Paul Nickleon of National Geographic
According to National Geographic and Scientists:
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.
Inuit people hunt the narwhal for their long tusks and their skin, an important source of vitamin C in the traditional Arctic diet.
Do not get us wrong, because these animals are primarily used as food, is important to the Inuit people, we just believe fishing restrictions and smaller hunting seasons should be imposed to help allow Narwhals to grow in population.
