Unpacking social learning in social-ecological systems: case studies of polar bear and narwhal management.
The skin and blubber, known as muktuk, taken from the bowfin, beluga, or narwhal is also valued, and is eaten raw or cooked.
Traditional foods like seal, walrus, narwhal and caribou are consumed frequently.
Today, tupilaqs of many different shapes and sizes are carved from various materials such as narwhal and walrus tusk, wood and caribou antler.
They lived primarily by hunting sea mammals and were capable of taking animals as large as walrus and narwhal.
In reality, it is made from narwhal tusks.
An indirect danger for narwhals associated with changes in sea ice is the increased exposure in open water.
The world population of narwhals is currently estimated to be around 75,000.
