| The biggest danger for walrus today is climate change. |
Walrus is a marine flesh-eating mammal, related to the seal, and inhabiting the colder climates. It has two large, pointed tusks, from fifteen inches to two feet in length, directed downward and slightly outward from the upper jaw. The tusks are used in digging up clams and other food from the bottom of the sea. The animals were valuable to hunters at one time because of their hides and oil. They were either killed with rifles or taken with harpoons.
