∙ 11y agoNarwhals live in the icy waters of the Arctic seas. Narwhals winter in deep-water beneath ice pack in groups of 5-10 animals; in summer they migrate to shallow, ice-free summer grounds where they congregate in larger groups. They rarely stray far from ice. In summer they infrequently enter estuaries, deep fjords, and bays.

What is a narwhal's habitat?
arctic circles
What is the narwhal protection?
No. The Inuit people are allowed to hunt Narwhals for meat, as there are very little vitamins in the northern climate, the general habitat of the Narwhal.
How do humans affect the narwhal habitat?
The narwhal habitat is found in the Arctic waters off Canada; Greenland, Iceland, the polar islands off Scotland; and Russia. That habitat is affected by human-caused and natural climate change; and by human activities such as hunting and maritime transportation. The narwhal live in a narrowly defined geographic region, and depend on a specialized diet. Changes in air and water quality therefore affect the lifetyles of the narwhal and of their prey.

What is the narwhal's habitat?
Narwhals only live in the Arctic ocean.
What is causing the narwhal population to decline?
The main causes for population decline are predation, pollution, maritime transportation, and climate change. The main narwhal predators are hunters, killer whales [Orcinus orca], and polar bears [Ursus maritimus]. The pollution of the air and of the waters is worldwide in its scale and its impact. Maritime transportation contributes to that pollution, and also may affect narwhal migration routes. Climate change affects the life cycle of the narwhal and of narwhal predators and prey. The narwhal population has specific habitat and dietary needs. Any impact on either impacts the narwhal population.
Do you have a pet narwhal?
No, I don't have a pet narwhal [Monodon monoceros]. Nor is it likely that anyone else has one. Narwhals live in Arctic waters off the northern Canadian, Greenland and Russian coasts; and in the northern Atlantic waters off the Canada and Greenland coasts. So it's prohibitively expensive for a pet store to collect, transport, and maintain the large sized narwhals. Additionally, the record of narwhal survival in environments other than their native habitat isn't encouraging to any narwhal pet store operator or narwhal pet owner. The narwhal is a picky eater and fussy habitat dweller. It favors a specialized diet of Arctic and polar fare, and a specialized environment of Arctic and polar cold waters and ice.
Do you have a pet narwhal named Hal?
No, I don't have a pet narwhal [Monodon monoceros] named Hal. Nor is it likely that anyone else has a pet narwhal named Hal. Narwhals live in Arctic waters off the northern Canadian, Greenland and Russian coasts; and in the northern Atlantic waters off the Canada and Greenland coasts.

How far out from a narwhals habitat does it swim out?
A sighting of narwhal has occurred at about 85° North latitude, and they very rarely go south of 65°N.
Why do narwhal narwhal narwhal narwhal narwhal narwhal narwhal nar na nar nar nar?
The Narwhal has a curve in its mouth making it appear to smile all the time. The Narwhal has a large tusk that made reminded sailors of the mystical Unicorns.
