	monod (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Monodontidae family contains two species, the narwhal and beluga.
		They are found at high latitudes in the arctic seas and in most of the major rivers draining into them, south to the Saint Lawerence River.
		Both species feed mainly presumably function in social behavior: males have been seen to fence with these structures, and occasioally broken-off pieces of tusk have been found imbedded in the heads of males of this species.

	Taxonomy of the Beluga Whale
		Finally, the beluga whale is in the family Monodontidae, and is the only member of the genus Delphinapterus (Drumm 2004).
		Beluga Whales have a close familial relationship with the narwhal, Monodon monoceros, the only other member of the family Monodontidae.
		The divergent evolution of these species has been suggested to have occurred from 6 to 23 million years ago.
