are female narwhal bones the same as male narwhal bones
Yes. A male narwhal is bigger than a female narwhal, and most female narwhals don't have a tusk.
A male narwhal is called a "sea unicorn" because of the long tusk that extends from its upper lip, much like a unicorn's horn. The tusk is actually an elongated tooth that can grow up to 10 feet long and gives the narwhal a mystical appearance.
A male narwhal tends to have one tusk, and the female none. But there are rare instances of a two-tusked male and a one-tusked female. There even is the one known, recorded instance of a two-tusked female.

Yes, but a narwhal having more than one horn is a rare occurrence. The scientific name for the narwhal is Monodon monoceros. The designation comes from the Greek for 'one tooth one horn'. Indeed, the male narwhal tends to have one horn, and the female none. But there are rare, recorded instances in which a male has two horns and a female one.
