Narwhals are often called "the unicorns of the sea," but determining any actual familial relationship is problematic at best. Attempts at research are all marred by the fact that unicorns are fictional and narwhals are not. If you can look beyond that, then yes, they are absolutely cousins.

Do unicorn exinst?

Chances are, unicorns existed at some point or another. Unicorns and other mythological creatures are mentioned in the bible, so perhaps they lived in the past and they evolved into something today. For example, unicorns are similar to narwhals. It was said that they evolved into narwhals in a version of Noah's Ark actually. But there is no proof that unicorns actually exist today.

No actual unicorns, though there are narwhals. Narwhals are a kind of whale found in far northern waters. The males of this species have tusks that resemble the legendary horn of a unicorn and may have been the inspiration for the myth.

Did unicorns live on Noah 's ark and swim and swim until they turned into narwhals?

No. Even if there was a Noah's ark, there is no reason to believe that unicorns (a mythical animal which does not exist) would have transformed into narwhals (a real animal that is common in the Arctic ocean). We have biological evidence that leads to the conclusion the narwhals are relatives of the beluga whale. One tooth changed to grow so long that it would pierce the skin above the mouth and exit the other side as a long horn. It is from a beluga-whale-like-ancestor that narwhals descend; not unicorns.


Are there such things as unicorn fish?

Not exactly. There is a such creature as a narwhal. Male narwhals have a tusk that resembles the fabled horn of a unicorn. Narwhals, however, are neither unicorns nor fish. They are whales.


If a narwhal is like a horned manatee why are there no unicorns?

Unicorns were just a myth and still are just a myth because Greeks, with their stories, told of unicorns, three- headed dogs, and half-human half- horses (whatever they're called). They don't sound real because they aren't real, no offense. (but it's true)
