Narwhal.Info

The only site on the internet dedicated to the gathering and sharing of information about Narwhals.

NEW! (Jan 25, 2004):We have a new Narwhal Information Forum.
Here you can post any question, or if you have an answer, post that as well.
This will allow everyone to contribute answers to questions.
Soon I'll post some of the more recent questions that I have not yet found answers on.
If you find something in the FAQ that is incomplete, please post an answer here.

"What is a Narwhal?" "What do they look like?" "Where do they live?"
These questions and more can be found
in our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section.
If you have a question that is not here,
or have some additional or new information,
please submit it to us so we can include it.

Question of the Day
What has been made out of Narwhal tusks? What has been made out of Narwhal tusks? Many things have been made out of Narwhal tusks throughout the centuries. Everything from cups to canes. An interesting story (based on fact) has been written about a day when Narwhals were not known and Unicorns were believed to be true. In the story a sailor comes across a Narwhal and sells the tusk as a "Unicorn Horn". The sailor then get another to make a cup to drink from and yet another to grind up into "magic powder". ---------------------------------------- From Tags@aol.com: Hi I am a homeschooler and I am currently reading a book about how forks spoons and knifes were made and also table manners. And it is very interesting! But I read in one of the pages that in the middle ages they would make the handles for knifes out of "Unicorn Horns" but it actually was Narwhal horns. I thought that was very interesting, and being as you are obviously a fan of Narwhals I thought you would like to know. Thanks.
