What is the reproduction cycle for a narwhal?

Narwhals reproduce through basic sexual reproduction. Typical male and female haploid (n) gametes fuse to form a zygote (2n). The only exception to this basic rule of reproduction is that the female narwhal can undergo "delayed embryo implantation." This means the fertilized egg does not begin grow and mature unless conditions are optimal.

This is not a conscious decision by the female, rather a result of blood chemistry that either allows for embryo implantation or dormancy in the embryo until such time that conditions improve. The exact process is not well understood, but is being studied.

Additional proof is their critical role as sources of food and ivory for the Inuit culture of northern Canada and western Greenland.
