They are marine mammals, and evolution made them that way (or God did, if you don't believe in evolution). They do not breathe underwater, so they do come up for air.

Did unicorns live on Noah 's ark and swim and swim until they turned into narwhals?

No. Even if there was a Noah's ark, there is no reason to believe that unicorns (a mythical animal which does not exist) would have transformed into narwhals (a real animal that is common in the Arctic ocean). We have biological evidence that leads to the conclusion the narwhals are relatives of the beluga whale. One tooth changed to grow so long that it would pierce the skin above the mouth and exit the other side as a long horn. It is from a beluga-whale-like-ancestor that narwhals descend; not unicorns.

Do narwhals swim in a school of fish?

Narwhals typically do not swim in schools like many fish do. Instead, they are often found in smaller groups or pods, usually consisting of a few individuals, especially during the summer months when they gather in Arctic waters. Their social structure is more fluid, and they may come together for feeding or mating but do not form large, organized schools.


How many mph can narwhals swim?

Do narwhals bite?

Narwhals are generally not aggressive and do not bite humans. They are known for their long, spiral tusks, which are actually elongated teeth, and are primarily used for social interactions and mating displays rather than for combat. While they may bite if threatened or cornered, such instances are rare. Overall, narwhals are more likely to swim away than engage in biting behavior.


What can narwhals not do?

Narwhals cannot swim in shallow waters, as their long tusks can make maneuvering difficult and they are adapted to life in deep Arctic waters. They also cannot survive in warmer climates due to their reliance on icy environments for hunting and breeding. Additionally, narwhals are not capable of producing vocal sounds like some other marine mammals, relying instead on clicks and whistles for communication.
