It's been speculated that, since their tusks are hollow and flexible, narwhal tusks aren't used for combat nor breaking the artic ice since they're too brittle for this, some say males use it primarily to attract mates, but it's also said that they're sometimes used to stun prey

[@LIZZIE-lizzie]

It has been "speculated" but there is no speculation on the ivory tusk of the Narwhal from the Innuit people. It's ivory and was used as a spear and revered for its' great spirituality.

[@paulmurphy5373]

Also, narwhals are excellent fencers

[@stronggrom68]

Ive read somewhere that its possible it has a sensory function in measurement of salinity , salinity can be interpreted by the animal to avoid being trapped when sea ice freezes

Ahhh. The usual nature's way of determining who is "worthy" to reproduce from which is WELL ENDOWED.

Well judging by the level of pain we get from a toothache and how extreme it feels when your teeth are sensitive and you put the wrong thing in your mouth (ice, sugar, metal, etc) it does not surprise me that the narwals could be using the tooth as a sensor wand. 🤷🏼‍♀️💡 Makes perfect sense honestly

[@fairlyvague82]

Well you’ve just sent me off to do some research then! Thank you 😊

[@susanb5177]

The only people that are allowed to hunt Narwhals for food are the original residents in the Artic. I watched a documentary years ago on the Alaskan Natives and their original diet. ( before pizza shops were invented) They actually showed the men hunting these animals in seal skin kayaks. I had never heard of them before that.

[@ShiningGalaxy01]

@Susan B They are not the original people, their ancestry is Mongolian, descendant from Genghis Khan.

I keep forgetting how awesome narwhals are. So few aquatic animals have horns or tusks, and there's just one whale that has a straight up unicorn horn that's found nowhere else in nature.

[@robertharper3114]

Makes me believe unicorns used to actually exist and have only gone extinct!

[@elayne9173]

I've had the pleasure of seeing Norwalls in person. There were 16 of them trapped in the Homer Spit in Alaska. They had gotten trapped by the ice. People were working together to break the ice up to give them a fighting chance. Not all made it. But 12 did. It was a miracle that so many of them did make it. They are truly amazing to see.

We do know something more about a narwhal’s tusk! That it is not centered, it grows from its jaws and not a tusk at all, but one of the two front teeth that is over grown, the other tooth looks like a jutting bald tooth, while the other tooth looks like a tusk, that’s why both male and female have them and sometimes a narwhal can have two fully protruding “tusks”.

Narwhals, like their beluga cousins, are a species of oceanic dolphins, closely related to Australian Snubfins, and Irawaddy Dolphins.

[@PapaCopperpot]

They use their tusk as how a blind person would use a cane, in a way. Except they detect vibrations and sounds through the horn as well. They don’t use it for fighting

[@raditya1828]

For those who wondering, nope, it's not symmetrical

[@gayathrisrinivasan9221]

Me waiting for him to tell why they are "straight from fairytale"

[@Liltoolillied]

The tusk is actually extremely sensitive and so they actually use it for sensing changes in water pressure and temperature but might also be used to lessen the drag allowing them to dive very deep

[@yukupukipuki]

Is it possible the horn is used more to dive down and keep from hitting objects in the dark or sense nearby fish movement? I've heard they're to delicate to be used for defense, sparing, or air holes.
