New research using drones has provided the first evidence of narwhals using their tusks in the wild for a variety of purposes. Researchers observed narwhals employing their tusks to investigate, manipulate, and potentially stun Arctic char, alongside what appears to be playful behavior. This study significantly advances our understanding of narwhal behavior and offers valuable data on how climate change impacts Arctic species.
