The Narwhal is a Unique Design from an Intelligent Designer

The narwhal is a unique, medium-sized whale or dolphin-like, carnivorous sea mammal that features its unique long "tusk" or "horn" and lives in the Arctic ocean waters. These "unicorns of the sea" average 17 feet (13 to 20 feet) in length and weigh over 2,000 pounds. Narwhals are often called whales but are classified with Monodontidae family and have similar characteristics and features to whales, dolphins, and porpoises. Narwhals are grey in color and don't have a dorsal fin. Narwhals often travel in groups but don't migrate as far as other whales and stay in the Arctic waters. Narwhals can dive up to a mile deep in the waters and regularly come up for air when needed. The narwhal neck is jointed, unlike other whales, and allows the narwhal to move its head separately from its body.
Evolutionists must answer how an air breathing mammal evolved to live in the water most of the time and perform all of its activities, including eating, sleeping, mating, and giving birth in the water. Baby narwhals are born without tusks and will begin to grow a tusk. Like other whales, when a narwhal sleeps, its brain stays partially awake to stay alert. Narwhals can stay underwater for up to 25 minutes while searching for food. Scientists believe that narwhals use echolocation to search for food like other whales. Predators of narwhals are killer whales and humans.
The tusk of the narwhal can be as long as nine feet in length and grows out of its head and upper lip in a spiral pattern. Scientists classify the tusk as an enlarged tooth. For many years, scientists questioned the purpose or use of the tusc. Some scientists believe that the tusc is used as a sensory organ while other scientists believe that the male narwhals use their tusks to find mates and fight with rival males for females. The tusk has up to 10 million nerve endings inside. Female narwhals sometimes grow a tusk, but it is usually smaller than the male version. Some narwhals have two tusks. The narwhal also has teeth inside its mouth but often swallow their prey whole.
Evolutionists classify the narwhal within the monodontidae family, which includes the beluga whale, another whale variety that has much different anatomy and does not have a tusk. Therefore, evolutionists have difficulty in identifying evolutionary ancestral line of the narwhal and explaining the origin of the tusk. The narwhal is a uniquely created and designed animal that does not have an evolutionary line.
