White Whales and Narwhals - Marine Mammals 1/9 - Go Wild

In this episode we look at white whales and narwhals.
Deep beneath the ocean exists an incredibly hostile world - an icy world plunged in eternal darkness where the pressure is phenomenal.
This world is the abyssal realm - the largest habitat on our planet. Yet some marine mammals that breathe air and nurse their young, like us, spend a large part of their days in this shadowy world. Scientists are now discovering that the depths reached by these ocean dwelling giants are far greater than they had ever imagined.
Using tags attached to the animals, cameras in the deep ocean trenches and 3D scanning images, this film follows and illustrates a modern scientific revolution. Constructed as a dramatic progression towards the deep sea trenches - from the shallowest to the deepest - it shows animals that are extremely rare and highlights the remarkable physiological adaptations that allow them to dive so deep.

This is absolutely stellar! The beluga are my very favorite sea creatures and I find them endlessly fascinating! I know next to nothing about narwhals and am delighted to learn. Thanks so much for this amazing documentary....I'm a brand new, shiny subscriber!

The narwhal (Monodon monoceros) and the beluga (Delphinapterus leucas) are the only two surviving members of the family Monodontidae, this family of whales currently resides in the Arctic, it belongs to the superfamily Delphinoidea (Oceanic Lesser Toothed Whales), where it is the sister group to the clade consisting of the families Phocoenidae (Porpoises) and Delphinidae (Dolphins) to the exclusion of Orcinidae (Blackfish).

Once i side the boat, One dozen narwhal can be boiled down and produce as much grease as a small whale. The grease sells for very much money
