Walrus are sociable marine mammals inhabiting parts of the subarctic seas and Arctic oceans. They are the only surviving species grouped under the class Odobenidae. Walrus are identified by a mustache, long-tusk, flat flippers, grizzly whiskers, wrinkled brown and pink hides, and infamous for snorting and bellowing loudly at one another. Walrus use their tusk for various reasons such as hauling themselves out of water or breaking breathing holes into the ice and in males, battling for territories. Walrus also play a big role in the tradition and religion of many Arctic people showing up in folklores and ceremonies. Also, they are regularly hunted for their ivory, blubber, and meat.
