This species of whale is best known for its tusk—a long, spiraled tooth that usually only the males develop. (Females occasionally do.) The tusk can grow to 9 feet (3 meters) long and weigh more than 22 pounds (10 kilograms). MYSTERY TOOTH
Narwhal: Unicorn of the Sea!: the perfect funny comic style
I have been meaning to read this book for ages, and today was the day I finally got the chance to read it. Boy, this was just so much fun to read. Very rarely do narwhals have two tusks, or are tusks found on females. It’s estimated around 3% of female narwhals have a small tusk. My little girls liked the story and the “very cute” illustrations, but they haven’t asked for it again this week. Males use the tusks to determine social status, dominance over other males, and compete for mating females. 6. Narwhals use their tusks to hunt for fish. This gem was chosen for our unicorn aficionado, and she approved heartily with the clever narwhal / unicorn twist. It was clever and cute. The illustrations were very supportive of the story line.
MYSTERY TOOTH
This grows from the front right side of its upper jaw. 4. The tusk is an ‘ivory’ canine tooth, that spirals out of the upper left side of the jaw. Of course, we all know that Kelp isn't a narwhal, come on, it is that obvious, but that definitely didn't lessen the enjoyment of the book. As the main point of this book is that Kelp discovers this himself. He needs to discover who he is, and where he will live in the end. Due to the extreme cold of the arctic waters, they have significantly more blubber than an average whale, which usually has between 20-30% fat. 7 17. Narwhals are vulnerable to ice entrapment (‘Sassats’).

Narwhals need open water to be able to breathe, but this area has a high concentration of halibut for easy feeding. Poppy: I forget what these unicorn-thingys are... Narwhals? I think. Fish, fish, fish... Narwhal, narwhal, and there's seaweed, and then the water... Not Quite Narwhal is the sweet story of Kelp, a "sea unicorn," who doesn't quite fit in underwater, but when he discovers a community of "land narwhals" (also known as unicorns!), he misses his friends under the sea. Author/illustrator Jesse Sima's "fish-out-of-water," or "unicorn-out-of-water," story will delight readers as they follow the adventures of Kelp. The illustrations are perfectly adorable. A must-read for all unicorn and/or narwhal aficionados! -Diana F.
Dive into three new stories about the joy of adventure and the power of friendship! In the first story, Otty the otter makes her debut splash; while Narwhal greets her with immediate enthusiasm, Jelly’s not so sure about her…mostly because he worries she’ll take his place as Narwhal’s best friend. Readers will easily see why Narwhal’s so excited to meet Otty, a boisterous explorer who even has an aunt who’s a real live sea captain! But readers will also relate to Jelly’s uneasiness seeing his best friend making a new pal. The Narwhal is a medium-sized, elusive whale, that inhabit the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans around Greenland, Canada, Norway and Russia. They have compressible rib cages which can be squeezed without harming them when swimming at huge depths. They also have twice the concentration of oxygen-binding myoglobin in their muscles as seals which allow them to swim at 1 meter per second underwater for 20mins, without needing a breath. 6 13. The origin of the name narwhal comes from the Icelandic words ‘nar’, meaning ‘corpse’ (in reference to its pale white color), and hvalr (whale).

K. Laidre (2010). “Narwhals document continued warming of southern Baffin Bay”, via Wiley Online Library. Ar žinojote, kad ir jūroje gyvena vienaragiai? Tiksliau sakant, šie gyvūnai yra delfinų giminaičiai, vadinasi narvalai ir turi iltį ant galvos. Visai kaip vienaragiai, tiesa? Ir įdomu, kad tokią iltį turi tik patinėliai. Hank (11): 4.3 stars. I thought I was there! I completely forgot where I was when I was reading it! Kelp is a darling unicorn with his turquoise hair, bubblegum pink nose, and spotted rump. Whether he's wearing floaties in the sea, leaping like a frog on land, or splashing around beneath a rainbow, Kelp is the cutest not-quite-narwhal. His journey is visually gratifying as he ventures from the cozy, lavender confines of the shell he lives in beneath the sea to a sun-dappled forest. He treks through a moonlit night with twinkling stars, to a rainbow laden field where butterflies flit and flowers sprout in red and pink, yellow and purple.
A short and sweet story about differences and similarities and relationships. Kelp has grown up in the sea with narwals, but a storm makes him aware of unicorns. He isn’t sure whether he must choose to be a land narwhal with the unicorns or a sea unicorn with the narwhals. Corpse Whale’ refers to how their skin colour resembles that of a drowned body The scientific name ‘Monodon monoceros’, is derived from Latin “one tooth, one horn”. 14. They are rarely ever seen by humans. The IUCN classify their conservation status as ‘ least concern‘, with recent estimates suggesting the total population of narwhal is upwards of 170,000. 1 Interesting Narwhal Facts 1. In 1577 the English explorer Martin Frobisher laid eyes on a dead narwhal, describing it as a ‘sea-unicorn’. A wonderfully silly early graphic novel series featuring three stories. In the first, Jelly learns that Narwhal is a really good friend. Then Narwhal and Jelly form their own pod of awesomeness with their ocean friends. And finally, Narwhal and Jelly read the best book ever — even though it doesn’t have any words…or pictures! We see him first grow up in the ocean, trying to be like a narwhal, and failing, but he is trying his best and I loved that the narwhal friends didn't mind him not being one of them. They cared about him. But then something happens and our little Kelp is swept away from his family and friends.

Born deep in the ocean, Kelp is a unicorn who knows he's different from his family of narwhals. When a rogue current carries him away from home, he breaches the surface and spots a sparkling creature that looks just like him. Curious, he ventures onto land in search of the mysterious creature. T. Shadbolt et al (2015). “Breaking The Ice: International Trade In Narwhals, in the Context of Changing Artic’ via A Traffic WWF-Canda Report. Jessie Sima is an author and illustrator of picture books. They grew up in a small town in southern New Jersey and now write and draw in a creaky house in New York State. When not making books, Jessie can be found reading graphic novels, watching spooky movies, and playing outside with dogs. During winter months, male narwhals have been observed making some of the deepest dives ever recorded, with regular dives of at least 800 meters, between 10-25 times a day. These dives are virtually vertical, to maximise speed. The pressure at depths of over 800m can exceed 2200 PSI (150 atmospheres). 5 12. They have evolved to withstand incredible water pressure.
Success!
Touching on identity and fitting in vs. standing out, Kelp is the perfect role model for learning to love oneself and appreciating that our individual traits make each of us unique and special. When he meets a jellyfish, they both assume they are imagining one another as neither of them has come across such bizarre-looking animaL before. Nevertheless, they decide to become friends and embark on some awesome adventures together.
