Walruses are massive marine mammals that live in the freezing waters above the Arctic continental shelf. These social animals use their long canine tusks for fighting, establishing dominance and hauling their heavy bodies onto sea ice for resting.
They forage the ocean floor for mollusks and crustaceans using their sensitive whiskers. This detailed replica captures the robust skull and impressive tusks of a male specimen.
