How can you keep the narwhal from being endangered?
Short answer is You can't. Since they live in Arctic waters, they are rarely seen. Not much is known about them, interesting as they are. It is assumed that they are few in number, but that is not a known fact. They might be plentiful and not in danger. They used to be hunted by eskimos for both food and the ivory like horn or tusk but that has been restricted. Only the male has the tusk.

The female narwhal tends to weigh in at 1,000 kilograms/2,200 pounds. In contrast, the male tends to weigh 1,600 kilograms/3,500 pounds. The male's weight includes a 2-3 meter/7-10 foot long tusk that weighs about 10 kilograms/22 pounds.
How many tusks does a male narwhal have?
A male narwhal tends to have just one tusk. The tusk grows out from the incisor tooth on the upper left jaw. But there are rare instances of a narwhal having two tusks. The second tusk tends to be a smaller version of the main one. It grows out of the right incisor.

What makes narwhals so unusual?
