Description

Walrus single tusk replica measures 32.0 inches. Odobenus rosmarus tusk is museum-quality polyurethane resin cast from a private collector specimen. 1:1 scale. Made in USA. 1 tusk, 32.0 inches. Base diameter is 3.5 inches. Height: 9.0 ins. (The “rise” of the curve). Orientation: Left tusk.

The Arctic walruses use these long tusks to pull their massive bodies onto the ice and fight for status. This 32-inch left tusk represents the large size of a mature bull that lived in the freezing northern seas.

While both males and females have tusks, the male version is usually much thicker, and longer for combat. This replica shows the true texture and scale. It makes for a powerful display for any northern marine collection.
