Unicorns of the Sea. Narwhal, one of natureâs most exotic wild species in the deep oceans of the Arctic belongs to the biggest group of mammals found on earth - whales. As the name suggests, the name ânarwhalâ originates from a Norse word âNarâ that means corpse which refers to the animalâs gray, mottled pigmented body.
Threats and Status. The IUCN notes that, while tens of thousands of narwhals still inhabit the Northern Hemisphere polar seas, the animals are potentially vulnerable to human activities and associated phenomena -- the justification for the narwhalâs ânear threatenedâ status.he whorled tusk of the narwhal may have contributed to the legend of the mythical unicorn, but the real flesh-and-blood animal is hardly less fantastical. This unusual toothed whale inhabits the high polar seas of the Arctic Ocean, traveling in large groups called pods and sometimes diving to remarkable depths.
