The walrus is an iconic Arctic species, known for its massive size and distinctive tusks. These tusks, up to 1 meter long, are used for digging, hauling, and defense. Thick blubber keeps them warm in freezing waters, and sensitive whiskers help them hunt clams and sea snails. Walruses are social animals, often gathering in herds on ice floes or beaches. Despite their size, they're decent swimmers and can dive to depths of up to 200 feet. Climate change and habitat loss pose significant threats to their populations, making conservation efforts crucial. With a scientific name of Odobenus rosmarus, walruses weigh up to 2,000 kg and live around 40 years. As ecosystem MVPs, they play a vital role in maintaining the Arctic
