  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ 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.

  7. Sirmilik: Glacier-Carved Narwhal Nursery

    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 🇨🇦
