After all, narwhal is the “unicorn of the sea”, and unicorns have horns, right? The narwhal tusk is often confused with a horn. The females’ average body length is 11.5 ft (3.5 meters). The males’ average total body length (without the tusk) is 13.5 ft (4.1 meters). Narwhals can weigh up to 4,200 lbs (almost 2,000 kg). In the whale world, even “medium-sized” means gigantic. There are known cases of narwhals and beluga whales mix-breeding. Narwhal and beluga whale, its closest relative, are the only two existing species of the Monodontidae family. The nickname comes from the narwhal’s most well-known trait its long tusk. A common nickname for narwhal is “unicorn of the sea” or “unicorn whale”.
