No, a narwhal is not a rorqual whale. Narwhals belong to the monodontid family, which includes belugas, while rorqual whales are part of the Balaenopteridae family. Rorqual whales are characterized by their pleated throats and include species like the blue whale and humpback whale. Narwhals are distinct for their long, spiral tusk, which is actually an elongated tooth.
