Both seals and walruses are Pinnipeds. Walruses resemble true seals — they too have no external ears. But the true seal and the eared seal have 18 teeth, while walruses have 34. Walruses can walk on their four fins unlike other pinnipeds who have to drag their body around. In fact, despite a body weight of up to 1,350 kg, a walrus can move as fast as man. The Pacific walrus inhabits the coast along the Berring Sea and its neighbouring waters while the ones in the Atlantic are found in the Arctic from the Kara Sea till the Hudson Bay. Walruses have tusks, which can grow as long as 68 cm and is seen among both males and females. The thicker and longer the tusks, the higher is the bull’s rank. Walruses also use their tusks to pull themselves out of water and crack breathing holes in the ice during harsh, cold winters.
