#walrus $WAL The walrus is a massive Arctic marine mammal known for its long ivory tusks, which both males and females use for defense and hauling themselves onto ice. Weighing up to 2 tons, they possess thick blubber and sensitive whiskers used to forage for clams on the seafloor. 

Walruses are highly social, often gathering in herds of hundreds on ice floes or beaches. Today, they face significant habitat loss due to melting sea ice. You can support conservation efforts through the World Wildlife Fund.
