The narwhal, or narwhale (Monodon monoceros), is a medium-sized toothed whale and possesses a large "tusk" from a protruding canine tooth. It lives year-round in the Arctic waters around Greenland, Canada, and Russia. It is one of two living species of whale in the Monodontidae family, along with the beluga whale. The narwhal males are distinguished by a long, straight, helical tusk, which is an elongated upper left canine. The narwhal was one of many species described by Carolus Linnaeus in his publication Systema Naturae in 1758.
For both sexes, excluding the male's tusk, the total body size can range from 13 to 18. feet. The average weight of an adult narwhal is 1,800 to 3,500 pounds. Their tusks grow throughout life, reaching lengths up to 10 feet. Narwhals can live up to 50 years old.

Why Purchase Fossil Replicas?
Many fossils, especially vertebrate fossils, are very rare one of a kind specimens that can only be seen in museums. Because of such rarity many museums also display replicas. For example there is only 1 Archaeopteryx specimen known as the Berlin specimen and yet most major museums display the Berlin specimen of Archaeopteryx. Are museums displaying fakes? No, they are displaying a replica which is an exact copy, cast directly from the actual fossil itself. Such replicas are scientifically accurate and in many cases even paleontologists study replicas because the original fossil is unavailable. Nearly as much can be learned from replicas as from original fossils. Replicas anatomically represent some of the rarest and most fascinating fossil discoveries of all time. Replicas are the only way that most collectors can obtain examples of such rarity. Replicas will provide many years of highly conversational pleasure in any home, office, school or study.
