Narwhal

Narwhals are part of the phylum Chordate and class Mammalia.

Narwhals inhabit the cold deep waters of the Arctic Circle, mostly found in North Eastern Canada, Greenland and the Barents Sea. Baffin Bay contains about half the total species population and the Hudson Strait contains a declining population. Occasionally they will ascend rivers. Narwhals depend on ice to make breathing holes, therefor they migrate according to ice formations and melting patterns. During the spring Narwhals will penetrate receding pack-ice and in the winter they inhabit deep-water off shore. Narwhals are predators who consume pelagic fish, squid, shrimp and various bottom dwellers on the seabed. Narwhals have a distinct body shape compared to other whales. They lack a dorsal…
