Few animals ignite our curiosity like the narwhal, but according to new research, our own boisterous activity in the High Arctic could be jeopardizing the survival of these great “unicorns of the sea.
Researchers have used mathematical models based on chaos theory to analyze the movements of a pod of satellite-tagged narwhals. Around solar noon, narwhals rest nearer the surface and take deep dives.
The reaction of narwhals to the loud noise from seismic air guns used in oil exploration involves a disruption of the normal physiological response to intense exercise as the animals try to escape the ...
The iconic tusked whale of the Arctic has a new enemy -- noise. A unique study shows that narwhals are highly affected by noise from ships and seismic airgun pulses -- even at 20-30 kilometers away.
