The tusks function is uncertain, as very little is known about this species.
If used as a jousting weapon, I would imagine it could inflict a nasty, but not life threatening wound to a killer whale (due to the killer whales size, and tough skin).
If a narwhal were to be chased by an Orca (Killer whale) The narwhal would win, assuming that the narwhal was not injured or wasn't taken by surprise.
yeh but the great white shark
Orcas have no predators except for occasionally humans. No creature other than humans can kill the orca. The only possible way for a human to kill an orca is for the orca to be shot with a harpoon. Orca's are playful creatures, but when it comes to hunting, they'll kill anything as long as it won't kill them first, and the orca ALWAYS wins unless there is a harpoon.
No shark can kill a orca. But if the Megalodon was still alive, then it could eat the orca.
Yes, orca dolphins can kill sharks. Orca dolphins are super predators that people usually call killer whales because orca dolphins are killer whales and they are killers of the ocean. Orca dolphins are the most powerful, dangerous and the deadliest predators on earth and they kill everything that lives in the ocean for food. Orca dolphins also kill other top predators as well. Orca dolphins are top killers of the ocean What are orca dolphins? Orca dolphins are killer whales, killer dolphins, orcas and orca whales.
Yes, a large great white shark could kill an adult orca, and an orca could kill a large great white shark. Most likely an orca would win most of the time but the shark has enough tools at its disposal to easily destroy an orca, it would come down to circumstance and chance.
No one knows, because no narwhal has ever survived in captivity. Obviously, if you are looking to try to keep one as a pet anyway, it would have to be much bigger than a narwhal. A narwhal is a whale, so perhaps you should try for a tank similar to those that zoo keepers stick orca whales in. However, one needs to consider how far a narwhal travels in the duration of one day. Even orca tanks aren't really big enough for an orca's happiness.
Humans kill Narwhals
no it can not kill a orca killer whale
noway
Well if the narwhls horn slammed nto you. You would de.
Orca whales are the narwhals' greatest natural predators. Narwhals avoid the orcas by staying in the cracks between glaciers in the winter. Orca whales are unable to stay there because they are too big to fit, and because they have dorsal fins, which hinder their ability to squeeze through tight spaces. The narwhal has no dorsal fin. The common human (homo sapien sapien) is also an enemy of the narwhal, because humans hunt the narwhal for food and for its ivory. Powdered narwhal tusk used to be sold as "unicorn horn" and was thought to be a sort of cure-all medicine, even holding possibly magical properties. Obviously we now know those statements to be false. Still, there are communities in Norway and such that rely on narwhal meat, sinew, blubber, and tusk to survive.
