Very little is known about Narwhals and their activities. Feeding themselves is one such mystery activity in which narwhals engage. But one suggestion is hunting by echolocation. The narwhal is a noisy creature, with a range of clicks, squeals, trills, and whistles. So the notion is the sending forth of some of these sounds, and the determining of a prey's location through the bouncing back of the sound wave onto the narwhal's forehead. Once the prey is located, the actual catching strategy is unknown. But scientists tend to think that the tusk plays no role. Other scientists suggest that sound comes into play once again. Indeed, they offer the possibility of stunning the prey by loud sounds.
