Uncover the secrets of their brown or gray skin, thick blubber, long tusks, and how they use their flippers to swim and their tusks to move on ice.

With detailed illustrations and engaging facts, My Favorite Animal: Walrus explores how walruses detect food with their sensitive vibrissae, their diet of mollusks, and their unique social behaviors. Discover how walrus pups are born and cared for, and the few natural predators they face in the wild.
