Narwhals - Site Map
Narwhals are found eastwards from the Canadian Arctic through much of Russia. The populations found here are most abundant. However, the Narwhal is rare in Siberia and Alaska.
Narwhals are seasonal breeders. The breeding season is in March through May. The gestation period lasts for about 15.3 months. The calves are born in July-August. It is believed that Narwhal Whales concept the next calf no sooner than in three years after the previous conception.
Narwhals have always been hunted for their tusks. The Inuit are known to hunt the species by shooting and harpooning. It has been estimated that anywhere from 550 to 280 animals are killed yearly.
Narwhal Whales inhabit northern hemisphere and seem to prefer the coldest water of all cetacean. Since the Narwhal Whale has special requirements for habitat, the species does not have an extended range. Narwhals are usually found in areas packed with ice and can rarely be seen due to their liking deep waters.
