What do you think of a narwhal?
A curiosity and a source of amazement are what I think of a narwhal. It's curious how a narwhal looks, what with its frontwards projecting tusk that really is one of two teeth. That tusk may be a reason for its survival and for its decline. For example, the tusk may help a narwhal navigate ocean waters. At the same time, the tusk lures hunters in search of fortune. Also, it's amazing how a narwhal adapts to a challenging environment. For example, a narwhal calls Arctic waters home. Its coloring apes and therefore blends in with the play of light and shadow in the Arctic Ocean's upper waters.
