The tusk only occurs on a male, and is normally spiralled in an anti-clockwise direction. The tusk is hollow.

A narwhal is a tooth whale, but has a special feature separating it from any other whale, which is a twisted tusk growing out of the left part of its mouth. Scientists have examined narwhal tusks a lot, and have found that there are special blood vessels in the tusk. They think that they use their tusks to communicate, but there is only a slight chance that they are right. Thus, they haven't found out much about the narwhal's tusk yet.
What kinds of tusks are there?
A tusk really is a tooth. Therefore, there are elephant, narwhal and walrus tusks. Tusks sometimes are called horns. But horns aren't necessarily teeth. An example is the rhinoceros, whose horn isn't a tooth at all.
