About this deal

Narwhals normally congregate in groups of about five to ten and sometimes up to 20 individuals outside the summer. Groups may be "nurseries" with only females and young, or can contain only post-dispersal juveniles or adult males ("bulls"), but mixed groups can occur at any time of year. [15] In the summer, several groups come together, forming larger aggregations which can contain from 500 to over 1,000 individuals. [15] Best, R.C. (1981).

The ship, the Narwhal, is named after the peculiar whales of the Arctic waters that have a single long horn protruding from their heads. It sets out with considerable fanfare from Philadelphia with Zeke as commander, Erasmus as natural historian and his second, a whaling captain as "sailing master," a surgeon, a cook, a carpenter and a small crew.

Hybrids have been documented between the narwhal and beluga (specifically a beluga male and a narwhal female), as one, perhaps even as many as three, were killed and harvested during a sustenance hunt. Whether or not these hybrids could breed remains unknown. The unusual dentition seen in the single remaining skull indicates the hybrid hunted on the seabed, much as walruses do, indicating feeding habits different from those of either parent species.

I highly encourage anyone who feels like they are missing some joy in their life to read this. Immediately. You will find joy.

At times, a bull narwhal may rub its tusk with another bull, a display known as "tusking" [28] [36] and thought to maintain social dominance hierarchies. [36] However, this behaviour may exhibit tusk use as a sensory and communication organ for sharing information about water chemistry sensed in tusk microchannels.

The Arctic Institute of North America. 66: 1–16. In the second half, the book pivoted to explore the ways that the 19th century became crazy for the exhibition of people unlike the traditional white westerner. The book also starts to reflect on the voyage from the first half, exploring themes about ambition and success at any cost (in a lot of ways it reminded me of Frankenstein). Frankly, there's a lot to chew on from this second half, about failure and success and fame and recognition and racism and religion and discovery and interactions with foreign, unfamiliar groups. It's strength is laying the puzzle pieces out as the main character, Erasmus, works through them, but never quite fitting them together. It lets you do that yourself.

The narwhal was one of two possible explanations offered by Professor Pierre Aronnax in regards to the naval phenomena damaging ships in Jules Verne's 1870 novel Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea; Aronnax comes to this conclusion by presuming that "we do know all the living species"; he was unwilling to speculate wildly to the American press. Verne writes: "The common narwhal or sea unicorn often attains a length of 18.3m (60ft)." For the narwhal to have caused the damage to the various vessels, Aronnax stated that its size and strength would have to increase by five or ten times; a b c d e f g Heide-Jørgensen, M.
