Walruses resting on Arctic rocks
The walrus spends much of its life navigating cold northern ocean waters and hauling out onto coastal rocks or pack ice to rest. These large marine mammals have thick skin and a dense blubber layer that shields them from freezing temperatures. Long white tusks extend downward from their upper jaws, which they use to climb out of the water onto steep shores.
Facts about walrus behavior and habitats
Walruses rely on their sensitive whiskers, called vibrissae, to search the dark sea floor for clams, snails, and crabs. While resting on land or ice floes in large herds, designated sentinels remain alert to keep watch for potential danger. Their skin color actually changes depending on temperature, turning lighter or pale pink when basking in sunshine as blood vessels expand.
