Narwhal
Best feature
The long unicorn-like tusk that grows clockwise out of its head. The tusk is actually the narwhal’s left tooth. Male narwhal, and some females, have two teeth. Usually only the left tooth becomes a tusk, but there are occasionally whales with double tusks.
Size
Males are larger than the females. The largest reach around 4.9m
