One of the most amazing animals ever! It is a toother whale but more importantly it has a tusk, a very unique trait.
Narwhals were the believed reason for the unicorn myth, as horses used to go to the shore to eat seaweed, sailors thought narwhals were white horses with tusks!

Narwhals are just awesome, they are the jedi of the sea 🙂
As Kevin said, they are dolphin like but males have a tusk that is a modified tooth that they use to fight and attract females. They lve in the north, in the arctic sea with Belugas and other very interesting animals. Native populations in the arctic still hunt them but they only kill few animals per year and the “quota” is regulated by the canadian government.
