Scientists don't exactly know what narwhals eat. They think narwhals eat (from cutting a narwhal open) what looked likesquid, flatfish, and Greenland halibut, a type of fish. Scientists think they may catch their prey by making a loud noise that stuns the animal. Scientists know that the tusk is not used for hunting.
Narwhals eat squid, flatfish, shrimp, Arctic cod, rockfish, flounder, crab, Greenland halibut, And other marine animals. Scientists think they may catch their prey by making a loud noise that stuns the animal.

The narwhal (Monodon monoceros) in captivity eat small rodents such as mice, rats, hamsters, etc. They also have a 50% chance of being extinct for being hunted for their tusks. There are very few of them today and live only in the coldest places in the poles. There reproduction has frighteningly decreased and it has been hard to keep the population going.
