Appearance
Walruses are covered in a fatty substance called blubber. The blubber protects the walrus from the cold water. Walruses have two tusks. They use their tusks for many different things, such as pulling themselves out of the water by stabbing their tusks into the ice. They also use their tusks to fend off their territories. They also have long whiskers to help search for clams when
their swimming.Slide5
