Morphology


Narwhals can be between four and vie meters in length; their tusks alone, a trait unique to males, is on average three meters long. Like other marine mammals, narwhals have flukes and fins for locomotion. They also seem to lack a dorsal fine. Most likely, this evolutionary adaptation is probably due to the ice habitat they live in.
