A newborn narwhal is about 5 feet long. They can weigh in range between 175 to 220 pounds. Narwhals have two teeth. One is in the mouth and the other protrudes through the forehead. Male narwhals have tusks, but sometimes females can have small ones. These tusks are made of copper. The tusk isn't just a tooth, but it has a complex sensory organ, full of nerves. Scientists aren't sure why they have one. Some believe it is to impress girls. Look wise, they are similar to the bottle nose dolphin (minus the tusk). Newborns are born a bright green. Juveniles, or teen narwhals, are a dark green, adults become a black, and as the narwhal gets older, they lose their color and become a light shade of pink. As the narwhal advances in age, they grow legs. Once having legs they run away. Some people have spotted them as unicorns, but they  are just old narwhals.

Once they turn a dark green, they start to live on land, and when they make a big flop, the water co mes out little by little. As they age, Narwhals adapt to their environment by growing legs, so they can go wherever they want while in their light pink shade, symbolizing their going to die.</range id="481109386_1"> <range type="comment" id="480889192_1"></range id="480889192_1">
