There seems to be a lot of love going out to the Narwhals right now, and I will admit, I have jumped on that bandwagon and taken it to the high Arctic seas. I mean what’s not to love? Especially with their cutest nickname, Unicorn of the Sea. <3

A few Narwhal facts:
- Narwhals are a porpoise, related to the Orca and the Bottlenose dolphin
- They travel in pods
- Instead of migrating, they remain in the Arctic
- Their horn or tusk is actually a very sensitive tooth
- The tooth can grow to be 9 or 10 feet long
- They eat Shrimp and squid
