A Walrus Resting beside the Sea

The walrus lies on its side across the beach, displaying its broad body, flippers, whiskered muzzle, and long tusks. A large ridged seashell rests nearby on the sand. Horizontal waves mark the ocean behind the animal, while rocks appear at the far left and right edges of the coastal scene.

Why Walruses Rest on Shore

Walruses leave the water to rest together on sea ice or land, a behavior known as hauling out. Their tusks can help them pull their heavy bodies onto slippery ice and may also be used in social displays. Sensitive whiskers around the muzzle help them locate food on the seafloor, even when the water is dark or cloudy.

Real Colors of the Shore and Walrus

  • Walrus skin: cinnamon brown, pinkish brown, or gray-brown, sometimes appearing rosier when warm
  • Tusks: creamy ivory, often becoming yellowish with age
  • Whiskers: pale cream, yellowish white, or light brown
  • Seashell and sand: cream, beige, tan, brown, or softly striped natural shades
  • Ocean and rocks: blue, blue-green, or steel gray water with gray, brown, or dark rocks
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

What are walrus tusks made of?
Tusks are greatly enlarged canine teeth made of dentin with a hard outer layer. Both male and female walruses can grow them.
What does a walrus use its whiskers for?
The stiff, highly sensitive whiskers detect objects and prey on the ocean floor. They are especially useful when sediment makes it difficult to see.
Do walruses live on warm sandy beaches?
Walruses are Arctic animals that usually inhabit cold northern seas and rest on ice or nearby coasts. A shore can serve as a resting place when suitable sea ice is limited or farther away.
