MY Favourite ANIMALMy favourite animal is a Narwhal
because they are called the unicorns of the sea.
The narwhals horns can grow up to 10 feet long.
The narwhals live in the Arctic waters in Canada, Greenland, Norway & Russia.
Most narwhals winter for up to 5 months under sea ice in the Baffin bay-Davis strait area.
Narwhals are one of the endangered Animals because of the oil pollution and climate change.
Narwhals feed on Greenland Halibut Arctic & polar cod,squid & shrimp.They do their chomping on
at the Ice floe edge & in the ice-free summer waters.
Narwhals can dive about a mile deep in the Ocean.The cracks in the ice lets them break it then they pop up when they need air. Narwhals change colour when they grow up newborns are blue & gray. Juveniles are blue & black & adults are a mottled gray. Old narwhals are all white.Narwhals weigh up to 1.5 tonnes & adult males can be about 5 metres long.
They are great divers they can be under the water for more than 25 minute periods.

Hi Tayla,
ReplyDeleteYour report on Narwhals is very informative. I didn't know that they were call ed the Unicorns of the sea, or that they change colour. Great interesting facts.
What do the use their horns for? Is it just to break ice or can they get food with it too?
they cant get food with it but I think they use it to defiend their self from polar bears.from tayla dry
