What is Narwhal?
Narwhal, monoceros monoceros is an arctic type of whale, closely related to Beluga. It is easily identified by a long, spiral pattern protruding from the male head. Narwhals are freely hunted by Inuit hunters, but recent studies that show that population vulnerability to climate change has made more protection efforts.
Adult Narwhals achieve a length of 13 to 26 ft (4-8 m) and weigh between £ 2,200 and £ 3,500 (1,000 to 1,600 kg). Males are slightly larger than women and have a single rush or teeth of their skulls. The tooth, which forms a spiral, can be about ten ft (3 m) long and weighs approximately £ 22 (10 kg.) About one in five hundred men will have dual tusks and also recorded women.
Narwhal tusks are considered responsible as a unicorn legend. The Vikings, who are returning from long trips, would often bring spiral horns as evidence of the legendary amagic horse. Some surviving examples of these corners are carved in complicated samples and believed they have treesof all the properties. A close control proves that the corners of the unicorn are actually tusks of Narwhal.
Experts have never reached an agreed conclusion on the function of the animal's joint. Popular theories suggest that this can be used to dominate and attract friends or that it can be used to break the arctic ice. Other experts suggest that Tusk can be used in echolocation to help Narwhals locate food. Recent studies suggest that Tusk can serve as a sensory organ, perhaps able to detect temperature and salinity. The tusks are not registered if they are broken but sometimes they can be repaired if they are chipped.
Narwhals are mostly animals of surfaces of surfaces, although dives of up to 5,000 ft (1500 m) were recorded. Diving Narwhal will remain just a few minutes before the scope to the surface. They feed on available arctic fish, although there have been reports that they will eat other mammals if the sources of the boltYou rare.
Narwhal is hunted by polar bears, whales and people. Moving ice pads can capture the animals into small bays, where they are easy for predators. Inuit hunters appreciate Narwhal as vitamin C sauce, vital for the human body and rare in the Arctic region. A 2008 study shows that climate change leaves Narwhal more vulnerable to the damage to the population than any other arctic mammal, leading to an increased interest in species protection.
A lot about Narwhal is not known. For example, it is difficult to determine how long Narwhals live in the wild, because there is no known method for determining their age in the past to achieve maturity. It is assumed that Gestate for 14 months, but some experts are discussed. They seem to differ in their size, in most family groups it consists of 10-20 animals, but collects Sengs 100 or more is common. Unicorn of the Sea remains somewhat elusive but continues to collect a fansKY who are interested in revealing the secrets of the species and protection against damage.
