#narwhal — Public Fediverse posts

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐋🌀 Researchers used X-ray CT and #microscopy to map a #narwhal tusk in #3D.

They found a second, inner spiral running opposite the outer one, a #doublehelix that keeps the #tusk stiff yet flexible, letting it bend without cracking. They hope the tusk’s growth layers record changing #ocean conditions over the #animal’s long life.

Sirmilik National Park in Nunavut, meaning 'place of glaciers,' is more than ice. Its waters, including Lancaster Sound, are a critical summering area and migratory route for a huge portion of the world's narwhal population. The park's fjords and sea ice create a vital habitat where these 'unicorns of the sea' feed and raise their young. #Canada #Sirmilik #Nunavut #Narwhal 🇨🇦

Whales and Dolphins (Marine Animals by Panini), Part 1

So after spending so long on a single company, reviewing in-depth every figure by Replica Toy Fish…why not work on a (nearly) entire series from a different company!? This time, I’m going to work through the marine figures produced by Italian company Panini. I will be approaching it differently–the figures are very small, and very stylized, so a relatively brief overview will be more […]

Here's #crochet sea creature number one... a #narwhal... and I'm quite pleased with how it has turned out... the pattern in the book was well written... and using a 2.5mm hook... with my usual cheap acrylic yarn... it has come out about the right size...

Looks like the Narwhal Amateur Radio Society net is later today!
