Drone captures #narwhals using their tusks to explore, forage and play phys.org/news/2025-02-drone-ca paper: frontiersin.org/journals/marin

"It is believed to play a role in competition for mates. The tusk may have other uses and its function is still debated, primarily because few people have observed how these elusive #animals use their tusks in the wild... Using #drones, researchers captured 17 distinct behaviors, which shed light on the dynamics between the #narwhal, its prey and avian competitors."

Aerial photo of a groupm of 3 narwhal just under water surface. The animals have hydrodynamic shape with a tail fluke and small fin-like front limbs. Their skin is smooth, white, and covered with small brown spots. each animal has a long thin tusk protruding from its head resembling a streight horn.

Some whale #linocut prints for #WorldWhaleDay! I’ve had the great privilege of seeing humpbacks and orcas (and other species) when working at sea. They seem as curious about us as we are of them.

I would love to see the blue whale and narwhals, in my other prints, too.

I hope we always live in a world where whales can thrive.

My linocut in silver on white washi paper of a pod of narwhals. There are two large ones near the top crossed like an x, each head up, and three smaller ones below pointed towards the upper left, lower right and one going into the plane of the image with a horizontal line at the top, marking the surface of the water.
My linocut orca whale is leaping out of the water leaving a trail of splashed droplets of water from the sea surface. It’s printed in black on white paper.
My square 8” x 8” print on white washi paper. The upper two thirds are printed as a deep blue-green rectangle with missing unprinted white silhouette of a humpback whale now filled with a linocut print of the humpback in dark blue-grey. The tip of its mouth and tail extend into the white margin space. The bottom third is a grey rectangle with the missing silhouettes of 6 barnacles unprinted in white now filled with linocut C. diadema barnacles with silver striations and orange centres with opercular valves.

“Narwhal are recognized as a #cultural cornerstone by Inuit, the #narwhal holds profound significance,” Jason Akearok, executive director of the #Nunavut #Wildlife Management Board, said on Wednesday.

“In alignment with their cultural relevance, the Nunavut Wildlife Management Board commits to a thorough examination of #scientific insights and #Inuit #Qaujimajatuqangit [knowledge] from #COSEWIC, evaluating their assessment of the narwhal as ‘Not at Risk.'”
