in inuit legend, the narwhal came to be when a woman holding onto a harpoon was pulled into the ocean. the submerged woman was wrapped around a beluga whale on the other end of the harpoon, and that is how the narwhal was created.
some medieval europeans believed narwhal tusks to be the horns from the legendary unicorn. some believe that noah threw the unicorn off the ark and it evolved into the narwhal.
i'd like to know why they think noah threw the unicorn off the arc. possibly the other animals were jealous and he didn't want to deal with the drama? personally, if god told me to build an arc, gather up 2 of every animal, and sit through a monsoon, i'd probably be a bit testy.
