Meet the Business Owner

Walrus I.

Business Owner

The walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) is a large flippered marine mammal with a distribution in the Arctic Ocean & seas of the Northern Hemisphere. The walrus is the only living species in the Odobenidae family and Odobenus genus.

The walrus is immediately recognized by its prominent tusks, whiskers and great bulk. Adult males can weigh up to 4,500 pounds. It resides primarily in shallow oceanic shelf habitat, spending a significant proportion of its life on sea ice in pursuit of its preferred diet of bivalve mollusks. It is a relatively long-​lived, social animal and is considered a keystone species in Arctic marine ecosystems.

The walrus has played a prominent role in the cultures of many indigenous Arctic peoples, who have hunted the walrus for its meat, fat, skin, tusks & bone. In the 19^th & early 20^th centuries, the walrus was the object of heavy commercial exploitation for blubber and ivory and its numbers declined rapidly. Its global population has since rebounded.
