Learn More About The Cute Narwhal Drawing

What is a narwhal? Many people have never before heard of this unique creature from the sea. In fact, when ancient peoples found its bony, spiraled tusk, or tooth, lying on the beach, they were inspired to dream up such fanciful creatures as the unicorn (learn how to draw a unicorn).

In Medieval times, these horns were prized, assumed to have magical powers and were worth more than their weight in gold.

Another legend from the Inuit says that a woman hunting with a harpoon was dragged into the water. She was turned into a narwhal, and her hair, which she wore in a spiral, was transformed into the narwhal's tusk.

Narwhals have also been mentioned in famous literary works, such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne and Moby Dick by Herman Melville.

The narwhal, however, is no myth. It is a species of whale found in the Arctic region.

It is a toothed whale, similar to dolphins and orcas. Unlike dolphins, the narwhal has no dorsal fin. The whale grows to 16 feet in length and weighs more than 3,000 pounds.

The long, hollow tusk, which can be taller than a person, occurs only in males and is used in mating displays in which males appear to fight, called "tusking."

The tusk also has sensory organs that tell the whale about its surroundings, and can be used to stun fish with a slap when hunting. Rarely, an individual may have two tusks.

Narwhals travel in groups ranging in size from five animals to several thousand. They migrate yearly, from warm summer waters to feeding grounds beneath northern pack ice in winter. Like dolphins, narwhals communicate using clicks and other sounds. Individuals can live to be 50 years of age.
