There were two male narwhals engaging each other in a sword fight, using their tusks! A few others nearby, a mix of narwhals and beluga whales, appeared to be spectators. What surprised me was the agility of these enormous creatures. The dueling narwhals were using their fins to rapidly propel back and forth, left and right, up and down, as they clashed tusks. One even did a back flip, he was definitely the more athletic of the two.
