Sea otter: Without sea otters, the undersea animals they prey on would devour the kelp forests off the coast that provide cover and food for many other marine animals.

Narwhales: Narwhales have tusk which is actually an enlarged tooth, that can grow up to 10 feet long. This tusk helps them in male dominance.
