Monodon monoceros is the scientific name for the narwhal. The narwhal is a relative of dolphins, and it is often called the "unicorn of the sea" because males have a long, single "horn." Narwhals use their horn as a sophisticated sensory device, detecting things precisely, such as water temperature, as well as in tusking, an activity that maintains social heirarchy in the group.
