How much does a narwhal baby weigh?

What is a narwhal and what makes it special where is it found?

The history of the narwhale is relatively short. After Julius Verne wrote the book 20,000 under the sea and used the narwhale as a fictional character, some not-very-smart people went out looking for one in hopes of becoming famous. They did, in fact, find one, but unlike the book stated, the narwhale has a horn emerging from its forehead, not where its nose should be.

Scientists all over the world went in search of these strange animals, but quickly figured out that if the temperature around the narwhale rises above -50 degrees celcius, the narwhale will overprespitate and die of heat stroke. Also, the narwhale is not mammal but in fact a warmblooded reptile.

Contrary to popular belief, the narwhale cannot breed with its own species. The killer whale must breed with the norwegian unicorn. But as the norwegian unicorn is now extinct, there are no more breeding opportunities.

How the narwhale is a warmblooded reptile doesn't make sense. If the warmblooded part comes from the killer whale, does that make the norwegian unicorn reptile? And how does the narwhale have a belly button if it was born from an egg? And if the killer whale nor the norwegian unicorn live in climates below -50 degrees celsius, how does the narwhale? Maybe the scientists have been wrong all along? We don't know, but we are hoping to find out.

What do narwhals symbolize?

Narwhals may symbolize reclusiveness. They aren't keen on socializing other than with each other in groups that are called pods. They may symbolize mystery. So much of what they do and how they spend their time is unknown. Basic questions about narwhals remain unanswered. For example, it isn't known for sure why narwhal males have tusks. They may symbolize the interaction between people and nature. They're longtime sources of clothing, food, shelter, and tools for the Inuit of northern Canada and Greenland. They may symbolize the environment. They're picky eaters and residents. They like their homes in the Arctic and far northern Atlantic oceans. They like their food from select Arctic fare. So they're sensitive to the environmental woes of global warming, habitat degradation and loss, and pollution. They may symbolize balance. Their tusks bring top dollars to collectors. But the hunt for any and all narwhal body parts is regulated. Will they be hunted illegally to extinction? Or will their protection herald an age that recognizes the need for balance in life and among living things? They may symbolize achievement. They're known to dive deep down to the chilly, dark, unknown ocean bottoms in search of food. These dives may be diving records for the entire planet.
