Content: During the summer, you can find males crossing their tusks and making whistling noises. Normally, in between them, there is a female narwhal. Narwhal tusks can also be a visual indicator used by females for selecting males. This behavior can also help young males develop skills necessary for performing in sexual roles when they become adults. Do Female Narwhal’s Have Tusks? Normally, females do not have horns. Horns are mostly a male feature. Occasionally, however, female narwhals grow one. Since only a few females grow horns, it shows us that the tusk is not really meant for survival or feeding since females manage to live longer than males. The tusk has more to do with courtship and mating.
