The narwhals live in the icy waters of the Arctic and North Atlantic oceans. This species grows a long, spiraled tooth that looks like a horn and can reach 10 feet in length.

This tooth usually emerges from the left side of the upper jaw in males. Occasionally, a narwhal will grow two tucks or have one on the right side. Researchers also believe it plays a role in social status among males. This unique structure defines the narwhal as the unicorn of the sea.
