Narwhal: Unicorn of the Arctic
Candace Fleming
A male narwhal’s daily and seasonal life unfolds in the Arctic, beginning in December darkness as he clashes tusks with another male. The narrative follows narwhals as they surface to breathe, use echolocation, migrate in summer, and sometimes give birth to calves along the way. It also describes threats from orcas and reduced food supplies. When a pod becomes trapped in a freezing inlet without enough places to breathe, the narwhals break through the ice with their heads, attracting a polar bear’s attention at the surface.
