The Stately Walrus
Blubber Kings
Walruses are massive marine mammals known for their long tusks and whiskered faces. Adult males can weigh over 3,000 pounds and measure up to 12 feet in length. They use their tusks for defense, dominance displays, and hauling themselves out of the water onto ice floes. Their thick blubber provides insulation in the frigid Arctic waters.
Social Giants
These social animals are often found in large herds, lounging on ice or beaches. Their thick blubber provides insulation in the frigid Arctic waters. Walruses are also skilled divers, capable of reaching depths of over 300 feet in search of clams and other mollusks. Their social behavior and vocalizations are fascinating aspects of their life in the Arctic.
