What do narwhals symbolize?

Answer 1

Narwhals may symbolize reclusiveness. They aren't keen on socializing other than with each other in groups that are called pods. They may symbolize mystery. So much of what they do and how they spend their time is unknown. Basic questions about narwhals remain unanswered. For example, it isn't known for sure why narwhal males have tusks. They may symbolize the interaction between people and nature. They're longtime sources of clothing, food, shelter, and tools for the Inuit of northern Canada and Greenland. They may symbolize the environment. They're picky eaters and residents. They like their homes in the Arctic and far northern Atlantic oceans. They like their food from select Arctic fare. So they're sensitive to the environmental woes of global warming, habitat degradation and loss, and pollution. They may symbolize balance. Their tusks bring top dollars to collectors. But the hunt for any and all narwhal body parts is regulated. Will they be hunted illegally to extinction? Or will their protection herald an age that recognizes the need for balance in life and among living things? They may symbolize achievement. They're known to dive deep down to the chilly, dark, unknown ocean bottoms in search of food. These dives may be diving records for the entire planet.
