Nicknamed the “unicorn of the sea,” the narwhal is a fascinating cetacean that lives in the icy waters of the Arctic. It is recognizable by its long, twisted tusk, actually a tooth that can measure up to 3 meters.
Surprisingly, this tusk is crisscrossed by thousands of nerve endings, allowing the narwhal to detect changes in temperature, pressure, or salinity in the water. Discreet and mysterious, it lives in groups and feeds mainly on fish, squid, and shrimp that it catches in the depths. A rare and difficult-to-observe species, the narwhal remains surrounded by legends and continues to amaze nature enthusiasts.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the narwhal: slender body, twisted tusk and realistic details. An ideal model to enrich a collection of marine animals, invent stories in the polar seas or to raise children's awareness of the fragility and beauty of Arctic species.
