RE: When narwhals (Monodon monoceros) rub their tusks together, it is believed to be to share information about the water, not as a sign of aggressive rivalry

Martin Nweeia hypothesis about horn/tusk make some sense as it is based upon experiment and some logic

It is worth to keep in mind that this theory is not really commonly accepted, and many biologists believe it to be wrong, or at least incomplete

Still a lot of thing is to be known. so can't say exactly about tusk. National geographic website is also not sure about task purpose. Thanks for sharing @valth

    Yeah, there is still a lot of uncertainty about the tusk/horn, so I guess we must wait and see if the researchers have even more proof in the future. Thanks for stopping by!
