How has narwhals adapted to living in the ocean?

  • In order for narwhals to communicate through the deep, icy waters of the arctic ocean, they adapted a much higher range of echo location which consists of very high clicks, squeals, and whistles... check the "cool facts" page for more information on this!
  • Narwhals adapted a very flexible neck in order to scan the deep waters of the arctic better. This allows the narwhal to capture more prey.
  • Another adaptation that narwhals have is that they are able to hold their breath for up to twenty minutes in order to dive down and hide from predators such as orcas, walruses, and polar bears.
  • Narwhals are also able to survive the cold waters of the arctic because of their thick layer of blubber that retains heat.

Why do narwhal have horns?

A narwhal is a tooth whale, but has a special feature separating it from any other whale, which is a twisted tusk growing out of the left part of its mouth.

How long has time been around?

Saying the words 'how long', we are asking the time period. Before time began, there was no time, and thus, even if it only started 100 million years ago, then that would be, say, forever, as before that time period, that was no time. So before time began, and there was no time, then there was nothing to calculate or even literally, the length of time that existed. Time, then, has been around forever, and if time ever stops, then this statement will no longer be able to make sense.
