In which kingdom does the narwhal belong?

Answer 1

The narwhal belongs to the Animal Kingdom. One use of the word 'kingdom' is in scientific classification. According to scientific classification, there are three kingdoms. Scientists consequently choose between animal, mineral and plant classifications. Also according to that classification system, an animal is recognized by certain characteristics. For example, an animal moves on its own. It feeds itself in ways other than interactive, photosynthetic processes with the sun. Specifically, it tends to need complex organic nutriments. It has a more or less centralized nervous system. Its cell membrane isn't made of cellulose. The narwhal moves on its own through Arctic waters. It follows a specificalized diet of living things. Specifically, its life processes depend upon the complex organic nutriments that are found in such aquatic fare as cod, shrimp, and squid. Its life processes also depend upon its centralized nervous system. It doesn't have plant-style cell membranes made of cellulose. The narwhal therefore exhibits Animal Kingdom characteristics.
