Rare narwhales video finally shows how unicorns in the sea use their tusks

New video, which has been recorded in the remote Canadian high -markets, lights up light on how Narwals use their famous spiral teeth, which are essentially long teeth to hunt and play with their food.

Narwhal shock teeth can mainly be found in men and can be up to 10 feet long. The unusual feature has led to the nickname of the animal of “Unicorns of the Sea” and is assumed that they play a role in the mating competition. Now drone videos have revealed other options for Narwals use their tusks in the wild.

Videos of a Canadian and American research team in cooperation with Inuit Communities in Nunavut, a region in North Canada, which is part of the Arctic circle, show several Narwals in a group that is known as a blessing, swimming and darts around fish.

Marin researcher from the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute of the Florida Atlantic University and the Canadian Department of Fishing and Oceans said that the video shows interactions between Narwal, fish and birds, including the attempts to steal food from GlaurUcous seagulls.

In the video, Narwals can swim under the seagulls and chase fish.

“Our observations provide clear evidence that Narwal's fish hunt and use their tusks to interact directly with the fish and influence the behavior of the fish,” said the FAU-research professor and National Geographic Explorer Greg O'Corry-Cree. “Some of the interactions we saw seemed to be competitive in nature, with a whale blocked or tried to block the access of another whale to the same target fish, while others may be more subtle, possibly more communicative and even more connected. Nobody seemed openly aggressive.”

Researchers at Florida Atlantic University said that the video is a rare look at how the Arctic whale behaves in social situations, playing, playing and adaptations.

The video led to a new study published in the magazine “Frontiers in Marine Science”. this week. The authors said that studying social whale behavior such as the blessing in the drone video can help to adapt to the changes in the arctic changes.
