Narwhals

December 1, 2021

This week, we’re talking about a kind of mystical animal that has inspired stories of legendary creatures for thousands of years. They have a feature that really sticks out and makes them extremely recognizable. So, make sure you’ve got some extra layers on, because we’re taking a dive into arctic waters to talk about narwhals

“The most identifiable feature of a narwhal is the huge tusk looking thing that sticks out of their head. The tusk is actually a large tooth and it can grow to almost 10 feet in length!“
