description Walrus Overview
The walrus is a thick-skinned seal belonging to the Odobenidae family. Its most distinctive feature are its large, projecting tusks used for hauling onto ice and foraging. Found in Arctic regions, walruses are critically vulnerable due to declining sea ice habitats. They primarily support themselves by grazing on shellfish near the seabed.
Scientists, researchers, and conservationists study these animals to understand arctic ecosystems and address their conservation needs.
