Answer #1

They are 1600 kg of gray muscle. Males have a tooth that grows through their upper lip to give them their world renowned unicorn horn (Actually a tusk protruding through the left incisor). Females rarely have this trait.

Answer #2

In medieval times, Europeans found the narwhal tusk and thought it was a unicorn horn. These cost a lot of money and were very rare. Almost no one owned one. During migration seasons, the "unicorn horns" became less and less rare. Soon the prices were very low, and many owned one. Sailors became suspicious and set out to see where these "unicorn horns" were coming from. They searched the sea because all of the horns were found washed up on the beach. They found tons of narwhal and killed them for their tusks. The sailors never shared their secret findings, and everyone still thought that they were unicorn horns. But some suspected what was happening. Scientists to this day do not have much information at all about the narwhal.

Answer #3

They are the unicorns of the ocean!
I think you mean 'narwhal' well basically a narwhal is just a type of whale that has a horn.

Pods refers to the groups in which Narwhals travel. The membership may range from 10-100 Narwhals. It's a group that travels together for companionship, learning, and protection. For example, narwhal young travel in pods with their mothers. The pod provides on-the-spot opportunities for learning communication, feeding patterns, and navigation.
