This paper examines the existential angst of narwhals, those majestic single-toothed whales of the Arctic. Through philosophical analysis and interviews with narwhals, the paper argues that these whales are grappling with questions of existence, meaning, and purpose in a rapidly changing world. The paper also probes the connection between the narwhal's tusk and its search for identity, as well as the impact of climate change on the narwhal's sense of place in the world. Overall, this paper sheds light on the profound and often overlooked philosophical dilemmas facing our underwater friends, and encourages us to contemplate our own place in the universe, as well as the value of a good tusk.
