Walrus Anatomy
Walruses have huge and extended bodies that are more extensive at the head and neck and decrease towards their tail which is installed in a web of skin. Their intense and wrinkled skin is secured by a layer of scanty, coarse hairs and is for the most part light black or tan in shade. Then again, whilst sunbathing out of the water, the skin of the Walrus (which can be dependent upon 4cm thick) creates a pink-red colouration. Walruses have two sets of flippers that are utilized to help to impel these extensive creatures with extraordinary deftness through the water and with their bodies fueled by their back flippers while the front flippers are utilized to control them in the privilege heading. Ashore, they move about clumsily on all fours and twisting their back flippers underneath them at right edges to provide for them more backing. The skin on the base of their flippers is harsh and knobbly which serves to keep these gigantic creatures from slipping on the ice. Walruses have long tusks (additional long upper canine teeth) that are utilized for both battling and to delve into the ice when they are hauling their overwhelming bodies out of the water.
