Yes, scientists can determine the age of a narwhal by examining the layers of dentin in their tusks or teeth, similar to counting tree rings. Each year, Narwhals add a new layer, allowing researchers to estimate their age accurately. Additionally, researchers may also use techniques such as radiocarbon dating of collagen from bones to provide age estimates. This method helps in understanding the life history and population dynamics of narwhals.
