About Walrus
How big do walruses get?
Male walruses can weigh up to 4,400 pounds and reach 12 feet long, making them the second-largest pinniped after elephant seals. Females are smaller, typically weighing around 1,800 pounds. Their massive size helps them survive in frigid Arctic waters.
What do walruses use their tusks for?
Walruses use their tusks to haul themselves out of water onto ice, establish dominance, defend against predators, and break through ice. Both males and females grow tusks, which are actually elongated canine teeth that never stop growing throughout their lives.
What do walruses eat?
Walruses primarily eat clams, mussels, and other shellfish from the ocean floor. They use their sensitive whiskers to locate prey in murky water, then suction the meat out of shells with their powerful lips and tongues.
Where do walruses live?
Walruses live in the Arctic Ocean and surrounding seas, including areas near Alaska, Russia, Greenland, and Canada. They prefer shallow waters where they can easily dive to the seafloor to find food and haul out on sea ice.
How long do walruses live?
Walruses typically live 20-30 years in the wild. They mature slowly, with females not giving birth until they're 10-15 years old. Baby walruses stay with their mothers for up to two years, learning essential survival skills.
How do walruses stay warm in cold water?
Walruses have a thick layer of blubber under their skin that insulates them from freezing Arctic waters. They can also control blood flow to their skin, appearing pink when warm and pale when cold to regulate body temperature.
