Walrus

The mustached and long-tusked walrus is most often found near the Arctic Circle, lying on the ice with hundreds of companions. These marine mammals are extremely sociable, prone to loudly bellowing and snorting at one another, but are aggressive during mating season. With wrinkled brown and pink hides, walruses are distinguished by their long white tusks, grizzly whiskers, flat flipper, and bodies full of blubber.

Description
The Walrus is a large marine mammal that can use all four limbs when moving on shore. It is a highly social animal that congregates in herds sometimes numbering several thousand. The bellowing of a herd can be heard for great distances and the Walrus is gentle unless attacked. In nature, Polar Bears are the chief natural predator of the Walrus and humans hunt the animal for its valuable ivory tusks, flesh and blubber. This animal has a vicious melee bite.
