Orca - Killer whale

[GreenGrolar]

"An interviewee from Repulse Bay indicated that killer whales normally do not go after tusked narwhal, and another indicated that narwhal with tusks are never found floating dead. A Pond Inlet interviewee had observed killer whales going after female narwhal, but not males. He recounted a story that tusked narwhal had killed killer whales in the past; the narwhal pierced the killer whale with its tusk, and become stuck, with both animals dying as a result. Tusked narwhal may therefore represent a danger to killer whales; however, a Pangnirtung interviewee stated that they will attack narwhal with and without tusks, and two interviewees had observed killer whales kill tusked narwhal. An Arctic Bay hunter found a dead tusked narwhal covered with killer whale bite marks."

"However, there is disagreement among opinions and/or observations of different behavior. Several Repulse Bay interviewees suggested that killer whale do not normally attack tusked narwhal and that only females are found dead. The same information has been reported previously [26], possibly from the same local experts. These observations are contrasted by those of other interviewees who indicate that tusked narwhal are killed on occasion. In northwest Greenland (Avanersuaq District), hunters have also observed killer whales attacking and killing both male and female narwhal [45]. A Pond Inlet interviewee reported a story of a narwhal piercing a killer whale with its tusk, suggesting that male narwhal are dangerous to attack. Rosing [77] described an observation from Greenland in December 1924 where killer whales were observed killing narwhal and one was seen jumping out of the water with a narwhal stuck to its side, with its tusk penetrating to the root straight through the killer whale. During interviews for the Igloolik Oral History project [78], an elder provided a story [79] of a dead killer whale that was found in the waters of qaqqalik (possibly near Kimmirut) that had a narwhal tusk pierced through its mouth."

This is an article I have never seen before. Polar bears are known to kill narwhales, therefore, this arcticle saying a narwhale as a dangerous opponent is shocking. Reply
