Narwhals are endothermic, meaning they can regulate their body temperature internally, which is crucial for survival in their cold Arctic habitat. This adaptation allows them to maintain a stable body temperature despite the frigid water temperatures, enabling efficient metabolic processes and prolonged activity in harsh environments.
