place. It is 15 to 5 degrees Celsius. This is
5 to 41 degrees Fahrenheit. They live where
heavy snow covered ice covers more than 80 of
the sea. They spend 2/3 of their life in the
water.

bears, and man.

The walrus have big whiskers. They use their
whiskers to feel around until they find food.
Then they blow to get the food loose or to make
it move so they can get it. They need it to move
because they can't get to it because of their
tusks. Walrus mainly eat bottom-dwelling
invertebrates. This would be things like clams,
snails, crabs, shrimp and worms.

Fun FactThe walrus cansleep while it swims. He
has air sacs in his throat that he fills like
floats. This makes it so he can bob vertically in
thewater and sleep.
