What is the behavioral adaptation of the narwhal?
One behavioral adaptation of the narwhal is migration. The narwhal undergoes summer and winter migrations. In the summer, the narwhal is found in shallower waters. That's the season when the food supply is abundant, and easy to catch, in shallower waters. In the winter, the narwhal is found in deeper waters. That's the season when food is scarce in shallower waters, and more abundant in deeper waters. Another behavioral adaptation is deep diving. There's no need for narwhals to perform the deep dives in shallower waters. But in deeper waters, the narwhal performs some of the deepest, known mammalian dives on record. So, depending on the season, the narwhal has a diving range of 30-300 meters/90-900 feet down in summer, and 800-1,500 meters/2,400-4,500 feet down in winter.
What is the evolutionary purpose of a narwhal?
The evolutionary purpose of a narwhal is the niche that it holds within its particular food chain. Its food chain is that of Arctic waters. Its niche within that chain is the role of predator. The predator-prey interaction, in nature and among wildlife, is intended to keep populations and their environments in balance. The narwhal niche is high up on the food chain, because it basically fears only hunters. In fact, it's prey to humans, killer whales [Orcinus orca], and polar bears [Ursus maritimus].
Did hunters want narwhal tusks or eggs?
Answer #1 by Mediatech Narwhal are mammals, so they do not lay eggs. Answer #2 by Ginezumi Hunters want narwhal body parts if they seek food, and narwhal tusks if they seek profit. The narwhal has a long, curved tusk that projects frontwards out through the mouth. Inuit hunters generally are interested in narwhal body parts as sources of food. Non-Inuit hunters generally aren't interested in narwhal body parts as food. They seek the narwhal's tusk.

How does a narwhal eat its food?
A narwhal eats in the shallower waters of the uppermost, sunlit zone of the ocean in summer. It eats in the deeper waters of the middle, dimly lit zone of the ocean in winter. Much still is unknown about narwhal activities. But scientists suggest that feeding is less often from the more available food supply of summer. They also indicate that a narwhal may dive more than 15 times a day for food in winter.
