The sea walruses ( odobenus rosmarus ) is a marine mammal that lives mainly in the waters of the Arctic Ocean. They resemble seals and sea lions, but are larger. In addition, these animals are very social and always live in a herd. In fact, they only change their habits during mating.
Likewise, walruses are carnivorous and are classified into three different groups depending on the region in which they live: the Atlantic walrus, the Pacific walrus and the Laptev sea walrus. In addition, these animals stand out for their fine whiskers, their long fangs and their thick fur that covers the fat and protects them from the cold.
On the other hand, these animals are usually quite large. In fact, males can weigh 1700 kilograms and measure more than three meters in length. On the other hand, the females weigh approximately 1200 kilos and measure between two and three meters. In addition, walruses have between 400 to 700 whiskers and arched tusks that begin to emerge in the first year of life.
It is not surprising, therefore, that some adventurers enjoy photographing them in the wild. The hashtag #morsa has more than 35,000 posts on Instagram. Also, your search in English (walrus) shows more than 233,000 images on this social network.
