Hoʻolauna: Nā niho ma ka ihu
Ke noʻonoʻo mākou i nā niho holoholona, kiʻi pinepine mākou iā lākou i ka waha. Eia nō naʻe, aia kekahi mau holoholona he niho ko lākou ma ko lākou ihu, he mea ʻē paha iā mākou. ʻO kēia mau hoʻololi ʻana he mea hoihoi a kū hoʻokahi, a lawelawe lākou i nā kumu nui i ke aupuni holoholona.
ʻO ka Narwhal: He koholā niho kū hoʻokahi
ʻO ka narwhal paha ka holoholona kaulana loa me nā niho ma kona ihu. Noho kēia koholā niho ma ka wai ʻAtika o Kanada, Greenland, Norewai, a me Rusia. ʻO nā narwhal kāne he ʻuʻu lōʻihi a hiki ke ulu a hiki i 10 kapuaʻi ka lōʻihi, aʻo ka wahine he pōkole a pololei pololei.

Ulu ka ʻiʻo mai ka ʻāʻī luna o ka narwhal, a he niho ʻūhā i hoʻololi ʻia i hiki ke puka ma ka lehelehe. Akā, no ke aha i loaʻa ai i nā narwhals kēia niho kū hoʻokahi?
Narwhal's tusk: Hoʻohana ʻia no ka hahai holoholona a kamaʻilio paha?
No ka manawa lōʻihi, manaʻo ka poʻe ʻepekema ʻo ka narwhal's tusk ka mea i hoʻohana mua ʻia no ka hahai holoholona, no ka mea hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e hoʻopā i ka iʻa a i ʻole ka haki ʻana i ka hau. Eia naʻe, hōʻike ʻia nā noiʻi hou e hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ke kuʻi no ka kamaʻilio a me ka pilikanaka. ʻOi aku ka mana nui o nā narwhale kāne me nā ʻōniu lōʻihi a hiki ke hoʻohana iā lākou e hōʻailona i ko lākou kūlana i nā kāne ʻē aʻe a i ʻole ka huki ʻana i nā wahine i ka wā male.

He mea ʻē paha nā niho ma ka ihu iā mākou, akā he hoʻokahi wale nō hiʻohiʻona o nā hoʻololi hoihoi i ulu ʻia ma ke aupuni holoholona. Mai ka ʻiʻo o ka narwhal a hiki i nā niho ʻoi o ka elephant shrew, ʻo kēia mau hoʻololi ʻana he kumu koʻikoʻi i ke ola a me ka hānau ʻana o ka holoholona. Ma ke aʻo ʻana i kēia mau hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa, hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa ka ʻike maikaʻi aʻe i ka hoʻololi ʻana o nā holoholona i ko lākou kaiapuni i ka wā.
