KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Often dubbed the unicorns of the sea, narwhals are strange and beautiful creatures with long tusks protruding from their heads. Members of the population of more than 80, 000 can weigh up to 4, 200 pounds and grow as long as 17 feet in length.

Detailed explanation-2: -The narwhal is an odontocete or toothed whale, but is different from all other toothed whales in that it has no teeth in its mouth. Instead, male narwhals have a single long, straight tooth (or tusk) that protrudes two to three meters out of the upper left jaw. Females almost never have a tusk.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the Middle Ages, unicorns were believed to be real creatures that inhabited faraway places, and their horns were thought to have magical properties. The horns were so sought after that the tusks of narwhals were passed off as unicorn horns and were widely traded.
