“With its massive tusk, the narwhal has rightly earned the nickname of the unicorn of the sea. Lives and hunts in the frigid Arctic! The name of the species derives from the Old Norse word nar, which means corpse. This is a reference to the animal’s pale skin. An alternative name for the species is narwhale or narwal.
