#walrus $WAL

Walruses use their tusks for many purposes. Tusks help them pull their heavy bodies out of the water onto ice, defend themselves from predators, and establish dominance within the group. They are social animals and prefer living together rather than alone. Communication is important for walruses, and they use sounds like grunts, whistles, and bell-like noises to interact with each other.

Their diet mainly consists of clams, snails, and other small sea creatures found on the ocean floor. Using their sensitive whiskers, walruses can easily locate food even in dark, cold waters. An adult walrus can eat thousands of clams in a single day.

Walruses play an important role in the Arctic ecosystem, but climate change is a serious threat to their survival. Melting ice reduces their resting areas and affects food availability. Protecting the Arctic environment is essential to ensure that future generations can continue to see and learn about these remarkable animals.
