Pacific Walrus

Information about the Pacific Walrus:

The Pacific Walrus is a pinniped and one of three sub species of walrus. They inhabit the Bering, Chukchi, and Laptev Seas. They're very large animals, with the bulls growing 10-12 feet and the cows 8-9 feet. They feed on clams, snails, crabs, shrimp and worms. Just like trees, you can tell the age of at walrus by looking at the rings in their tusks. The rest of the year (late summer and fall) the walrus tends to form massive aggregations of tens of thousands of individuals on rocky beaches or outcrops. The migration between the ice and the beach can be long distance and dramatic. In late spring and summer hundreds of thousands of these animals migrate from the Bering Sea to the Chukchi sea through the Bering Strait.
