I love ❤️ WALRUSSES thanks so very much ❤️ 💖 💕 💓
I hope walruses are having a good time
Is it weird that my first thought was “what do their whiskers feel like?”
I think they're thick
Thank you for the wonderful information, well presented.
The walrus is one of the largest pinnipeds. Both sexes have a pair of large upper canine teeth, known as tusks. They also have small eyes, lack external pinnae, and a snout with hundreds of stiff vibrissae.
Diet in the Wild:
Clams are their most common source of food but they also feed on crabs, sea cucumbers, and segmented worms.
Habitat:
Walrus are most often found in shallower waters possibly due to the availability of food. During the breeding season or when resting, they are seen on thick pack ice.
Threats in the Wild:
Due to climate change, pack ice is becoming less prominent and thinner. Due to the large size of a walrus, cold temperatures for thick ice are necessary. They are also very sensitive to environmental disturbances, therefore stampedes and mothers separating from their calves can be detrimental.
Reproduction:
The breeding season for the Pacific walrus is in winter between December and March. Calves are usually born in late April or May. Females reach sexual maturity around 4-5 years of age while males become fertile at 5-7 years. The walrus has the lowest reproductive success rate of any pinniped species. Walruses weigh 100-150 lbs when born are not weaned for two or more years.
Conservation Status:
The Pacific walrus population is currently listed as “least-concern” by the IUCN. The Atlantic walrus population is listed as decreasing, though not threatened or endangered yet.
Fun Facts:
When a walrus dives in the cold water, it causes a restriction of blood flow, which makes the skin almost white in color. When hauling out, the skin becomes filled with blood and their skin turns a pink to red color.
It's incredible that they seem to like crushing together on beaches the way they do, as you would think it's a greater risk to their wellbeing than spreading out a little; especially since the adults are so huge not to be particularly vulnerable to predators, such as polar bears. I would like to know some more facts about blue whales, perhaps the most amazing creatures on the planet.

An idea I would do is use liquid nitrogen to freeze the ice caps in Antarctica.
Their tusks sure look prehistoric.
That's was I was thinking, but they make them look majestic and it gives off that feeling they're someone you don't wanna mess with
Fun fact: the walrus's favorite food is the potato!
Can you make a video on complete knowledge on wildlife and plants for the preparation?

Brilliant video. We need to find alternative energy sources to continue our way of life. If done correctly humans and nature could thrive

Molly, are you okay now?
Amazing pet!
People have had fun with walrus related things. For example, someone put a recipe for Waldorf salad in a book and labeled it as walrus salad!
Edit: someone else applied the term "human walrus" to William Taft, a former US president who was a large man in both height and - especially - weight!
Hi my name is Thomas Love ! I would like to learn about elephant seal please ?

Nice
What is plural for Walrus?
Walruses I think, I keep hearing both versions such as walrus and walruses, I don't know which one is grammatically correct but walruses makes more sense to me

How is there 10 facts about walrus 🤯🤯🤯
Tusk 2014
Who else is here after watching Tusk?
A bit traumatizing, yes, but not as crazy as Annihilation. Fantastic costume design! The ending didn't make sense, though.
What eats them ? Killer whales?
Was all good till she started saying climate change
As soon as she talked about how they are dependent on ice I foresaw that ending. I came for walrus facts not climate change blah blah I've heard more times then I care to.
It’s a huge part of their life. It makes sense to mention it.
