What Is The Narwhal?

Unfortunately, they don't have a lot to defend themselves from with the tail being the only thing useful, but luckily, they don't have a lot of predators. The biggest predator is humans actually due to the fact that some people hunt them and that some boaters hit them with their

Like how unicorns are related to horses, narwhals are related to many kinds of whales. Some included are: bottlenose dolphins, belugas, orcas, and harbor porpoises. These narwhals can grow rapidly like most kinds of whales. They can grow from being just five feet in length as a newborn and 17 feet as an adult. Also, newborns weigh from about 175 to 220 pounds. And adults are usually around 2100 pounds. Age differentiation of narwhals has been easy not just because the weight and length, but because of their color. Younger narwhals are more gray while adults are lighter in color. This makes it easy to tell the difference between young and old narwhals. Even though it is easy to tell the difference between narwhals in itself, narwhals are usually not seen too often because they do not come too close to the shore. And they can dive down to 5,000 feet. Though narwhals are interesting, they are threatened by many factors, natural and unnatural

There is an animal in the Arctic Ocean called a Narwhal. There are three of predators for Narwhals. There predators include Killer Whales, Polar Bears, and Walruses. Narwhals can weigh up to 4,200 pounds! Narwhals don’t have a certain color for their whole life, they change colors! When they are born they are blue and gray, Juveniles are black and blue, and adults are mottled gray. Narwhals will eat Greenland halibut, Arctic and polar cod, squid, and shrimp. A Narwhal's tusk is actually an enlarged tooth with 10 million nerve endings inside.

Seahorses can not swim very well so it is hard to swim away from predators, but on the other hand seahorses are very small which helps them get away from predators. Seahorses also use their environment to hide and get away from predators.

They are also have a muscular build and are nocturnal. These qualities enable them to prey on their

Narwhals are a very ugly color. They’re a pale-blue with spots and babies are brown with no spots. The babies, when they're born, can be 5ft long and weigh 175 to 220 lbs. The males are 13 to 20ft long and weigh 3,500lbs, also the females are 11.5ft and weigh 2,200lbs. Narwhals make dolphin noises; like whistling, clicking, and trilling. They are graceful animals.

Humans eat narwhals. Polar bears, sharks, killer whales and walruses eat them too! Answer #2 by Shabootaqay Orca whales are the narwhals' greatest natural predators. Narwhals avoid the orcas by staying in the cracks between glaciers in the winter. Orca whales are unable to stay there because they are too big to fit, and because they have dorsal fins, which hinder their ability to squeeze through tight spaces. The narwhal has no dorsal fin.

Although River Otters can be found on every continent, they are commonly found throughout Canada and the United States. They enjoy saltwater environments like rivers, lakes, marshes, and estuaries. They have no tolerance for dirty water, but can endure warm and cold weather. They are also commonly found throughout North America. They are native to Canada, smaller countries in Europe, and almost every state in the United

In the United States today there is a great amount of cultural diversity, but unfortunately the predominant American culture causes other cultures to be overlooked causing difficulties for students of other cultures to succeed in the American school system. This is what happens in the story of the Indian Wind-Wolf as he begins going to kindergarten. For Wind-Wolf, this is his first time outside of the Indian culture and it is very difficult for him to be the only Indian boy in his classroom. It causes him to feel like an outcast. As educators, teachers have the responsibility to create an environment in the classroom that makes each student feel that they belong there. For Wind-Wolf, and any other students in a cultural minority, the typical classroom does not have these necessary qualities. There are a few ways Wind-Wolf 's teacher can create the classroom environment necessary for his success: working with his father to see what will be helpful for his learning experience, being culturally responsive, and incorporating his culture into the classroom.

There are no other species of narwhal than the narwhal. The scientific name is monodon monoceros. Other names it’s referred to as are the “sea unicorn” and the “unicorn whale”. The “horn” which closely resembles that of a unicorn’s is actually a tusk, is about 2-3 meters long and is typically found on the male narwhal.

The Narwhal is a whale and is also known as the unicorn of the sea. It is in the family of bottlenose dolphins, orcas, and Belugas (World Wildlife Fund). The scientific name for the Narwhal is Monodon monoceros and it is Greek meaning one-tooth, one-horn. It can grow up to 13-16 feet in length and weighs almost 2 tons (4,000 pounds). The region they are usually located is around the Arctic waters of Canada, Greenland, Norway and Russia. They are known as unicorns of the sea because they have a tusk, one of their teeth, coming out of the front of the skull. According to the World Wildlife fund (2014), “Males most commonly have tusks, and some may even have two. The tusk, which can grow as long as 10 feet, is actually an enlarged tooth.” The

This caused most fish to die, leaving their number one food source mostly dead, as little fish survived these terrible accidents. That is how it began to evolve, it disliked its current state in the ocean and very slowly it grew legs, so it can walk, run, and sprint on land, lungs so it can also breathe on land, better eyesight, because normally sharks have eyes on the side but these eyes moved toward the front so it can have better peripheral vision, an eyebrow bone because its eyes aren't that used to the sun yet so it needs some eye protection since these animals can’t wear sunglasses, claws so it can strike its predator with strong, fierce strikes, and scales so its skin can adapt to the heat of the sun so it can last on land for more than a hour. Its current ecosystem is, one, the top creatures, in the ocean because, the land shark can also go back into the sea, and last, on land it’s a top predator as it can hunt other animals down with its teeth and claws. The lhark’s characteristics are it is an evil creature it you scream and run because it thinks it’s a sign to hunt you down.

Great hammerhead sharks appear to adapt well to their environments. One of their capabilities is that they are opportunistic predators and are willing to eat anything they can get their hands on to help them survive. Consequently, one concern would be the changes in temperature in the water. The hammerhead does not seem to adapt well to the cooler waters.

Walrus’s diet consists of mostly bivalves (Fay 1982). A variety of benthic invertebrates and even a few vertebrates are consumed as well.

Sea-horses adapt to there environment because they like warmer water and the grass at the bottom of corals and the floor of the ocean.They like to hide in this grass , not eat it.The sea-horses like the slow moving currents because it brings these tiny little micro earth like creature through that slow moving current , and the sea-horses wait for the plankton to go by and boom there eaten.Sea-horses don't have stomachs , they turn all the food they eat into energy .Sea-horses have thick armed plates that surround there body with the protection they need to survive in there habitat.Sea-horses have camouflage so they can hide from much bigger mammals like fish,eel,and even sharks. The sea-horses learn to adapt to there surroundings,they learn
