Does a narwhal have a horn?

It is believed that the horn (Which is actually a tusk, a type of tooth) is used for nothing more than sexual identification. Males are the ones that have the tusk, located on the left incisor, though females can have them on rare occasions. 1 out of every 500 Narwhals has a second tusk on the right incisor, but there has only been one sighting of a female narwhal with two tusks.
