About Walrus

The walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) is a large flippered marine mammal with a discontinuous distribution about the North Pole in the Arctic Ocean and subarctic seas of the Northern Hemisphere. Walruses are easily recognized by their prominent tusks, bristly whiskers, and bulky bodies. They are social animals, often found in large herds, and are known for their loud vocalizations. Walruses primarily feed on benthic invertebrates, using their sensitive whiskers to locate prey on the seafloor. Their thick blubber layer helps them stay warm in frigid waters. Walruses play a significant role in Arctic ecosystems, influencing the structure of benthic communities and serving as prey for polar bears and killer whales.

Size Overview

Wondering about the majestic size of a walrus? These massive marine mammals boast impressive dimensions. A fully grown walrus typically measures around 3200mm (320cm) in width, stands approximately 1400mm (140cm) tall, and reaches a length of 3200mm (320cm). That's about the size of a small car in length, and roughly as tall as a large refrigerator standing upright. Imagine fitting something that large into your living room! Understanding the walrus's significant size highlights its adaptation to its Arctic environment. Understanding walrus body size and weight is important for conservation efforts.
