Monodon Monoceros, commonly known as Narwhal, occupy one of the most Northerly habitats of
any Cetacean; they are seldom found farther South than 70' N. They are closely related to the
Beluga Whale. The male Narwhal is unique and unlikely to be confused with any other whale. It has
a long spiral tooth that it uses in fights for dominance and as a visual display of strength. Until the
17th century, its tooth was believed by many to be the horn of the legendary unicorn.
