Walruses are fascinating Arctic marine mammals known for their enormous size, distinctive long tusks, and stiff whiskers that help them locate food on the ocean floor. These social giants live in large herds on ice floes and coastal waters, diving to feed on clams, mussels, snails, and other benthic creatures using their sensitive whiskers to snuffle out prey. Both male and female walruses sport impressive tusks used for dominance displays, hauling themselves onto ice, and social interactions. Despite their massive bodies and blubber that insulates them from frigid Arctic temperatures, walruses face threats from climate change and habitat loss as sea ice shrinks. Their impressive social behavior and unique adaptations make them one of the most remarkable Arctic species to study and protect for future generations #wal @Walrus 🦭/acc $WAL
