Narwhals (Monodon monoceros), computer artwork
Narwhals (Monodon monoceros), computer artwork. These rare sea mammals are one of three whale species that spend their entire lives in the Arctic. They are usually seen in groups that consist of females with their calves, accompanied by several mature males. All males, and occasionally the females, have two teeth, the left of which grows into a long spiralled tusk (alicon), extending forward from the head. It is thought to help determine dominance amongst the males in a group and may be involved in the narwhal mating ritual. It is also thought that this tusk is the basis of the myth of the unicorn

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic narwhals, also known as Monodon monoceros, in a stunning computer artwork. These elusive sea mammals are among the few whale species that call the Arctic their home throughout their entire lives. Typically found in groups consisting of nurturing females and their adorable calves, these gatherings are often accompanied by several mature males. What sets narwhals apart is their distinctive feature - two teeth present in all males and occasionally even in females. The left tooth grows into an extraordinary spiralled tusk called an alicon, protruding gracefully from their heads. This remarkable appendage serves multiple purposes; it helps establish dominance within male groups and plays a role during the intricate narwhal mating ritual. Interestingly, this very tusk has been linked to the mythical creature we know as unicorns. In this mesmerizing illustration created by Science Photo Library, we get a glimpse into the enchanting world of these biological wonders thriving beneath Arctic waters. With its blend of legend, nature, artistry, and zoological accuracy, this image encapsulates both scientific fascination and artistic beauty. It reminds us of our planet's diverse wildlife and encourages us to appreciate the wonders that exist beyond our everyday experiences.
