THE NARWHAL
The Narwhal has a large "tusk" from a protruding canine tooth.
The adult can be 5.1m in length and weigh 940kg.
They travel in groups of 15-20, although reports of hundreds have been spotted together.
They are known as the "Unicorns of the Sea."
There are (roughly) 80,000 Narwhals in the world.
The female has a gestation period of 16 months.
The spiraled "tusk" can grow as long as 10 feet.
They live in the Arctic waters of Canada, Greenland, Norway and Russia.
They feed on Greenland halibut, Arctic and polar cod, squid and shrimp.
Narwhals can dive about a mile deep in the ocean.
Narwhals can live 105-125 years.
LIVE AND LOVE LIFE !
