THE WALRUSThe walrus, Odobensus rosmarus, is a large flippered marine mammal. It is the only living species in the Odobenidae family. The family name, Odobensus, means "tooth walker", because of the way they drag themselves along the ice using their tusks. The species Odobensus ,rosmarus, comes from the Norwegian word for "whale horse".The walrus is a close relative of seals, but unlike the seals has two separate hind legs. Males reach 4 m in length and weigh up to 1200 kg, while females only reach half this weight. Walrus are best known for their unique tusks, the only ones of their kind among marine mammals. They are actually two very long canine teeth. Walruses live in the Arctic Ocean and sub-Arctic seas of the Northern Hemisphere. In summer, walrus herds often lie in the sun on small islands or ice floes. During the winter breeding season, animals move to areas of open water. When feeding, walruses dive up to 100 m in search of clams, their main food.
Walrus calves are born in May and usually stay with their Mothers for two years. Females therefore breed only every second to third year. Males reach maturity much later in life than females because they need to reach a larger size before they can fight in battles for access to females. Dominance among males is established by physical combat during the breeding season, and they fight with their tusks. The winner gains control of up to 100 breeding females.
The walrus has been hunted for its meat, fat, skin, tusks and bone. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, the walrus was hunted for its blubber and ivory and numbers declined rapidly. In recent times however their numbers have increased.
