| Dolphins and porpoises are examples of odontocetes, as are belugas, narwhals, killer whales, sperm whales, and beaked whales. |
|
| Marine mammals include narwhals, beluga whales, walrus, and ringed and bearded seals. |
|
| We had seen whales, narwhals, polar bear, seals, walrus, musk ox, and countless other natural wonders. |
|
| The fjords around Ammassalik Island are brimming with narwhals, seals, ermine, arctic wolves and dozens of other cold-comfort creatures. |
|
| Polar bears are seagoing hunters that roam vast areas of the Arctic, pursuing a movable feast of seals, narwhals, beluga whales, and walruses. |
|
| A dive was defined as submergence below 8 m, and the surface was defined as above 9 m, following sampling schemes also used for narwhals and belugas. |
|
| These mammals include beluga whales, narwhals, and ring seals. |
|
| They grow to about 30 cm long, and are favorite food of narwhals and other arctic whales. |
|
| The whales in the novel are narwhals, a type of whale with a long, spiraling horn on the front of its head. |
|
| But there are enough bigger critters in the book, from narwhals to saber-toothed cats, to satisfy the insect-phobic. |
|
| Others also at risk include ivory gulls, Pacific walruses, ringed and hooded seals and narwhals, small whales with long, spiral tusks. |
|
| The Danish physician Ole Worm determined in 1638 that the alleged alicorns were the tusks of narwhals. |
|
| Entire horns were very precious in the Middle Ages and were often really the tusks of narwhals. |
|
| The brain to body mass ratio in some odontocetes, such as belugas and narwhals, is second only to humans. |
|
| In repeated attempts in the 1960s and 1970s, narwhals kept in captivity died within months. |
|
| Polar bear attacks on belugas and narwhals are usually successful in winter, but rarely inflict any damage in summer. |
|
| However, in repeated attempts in the 1960s and 1970s, all narwhals kept in captivity died within months. |
|
| Other times they corral the narwhals or belugas before striking. |
|
| Moreover, both narwhals and bowheads can occur in late summer in southern Prince Regent Inlet and may reach Fury and Hecla Strait and northern Foxe Basin. |
