How deep down in water can a narwhal live?
A depth of 4,500 feet/1,500 meters is the furthest down that a narwhal can live. But that depth only can be tolerated for 20-25 minutes at a time. That depth also is reached only in pursuit of narwhal prey of the lower, midnight zone of the Arctic and North Atlantic ocean waters. Typically, a narwhal favors the sunlit waters of the upper zone that goes down 600 feet/200 meters from the ocean surface.

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.
