Atlantic Walrus

Whiskery An Atlantic Walrus gives an icy stare into the camera while tiny droplets of moisture drip from the tips of its whiskery vibrissae. The sensitive hirsute facial features serve the walrus in detecting disturbances in the water as well as locating its prey. ~ Anecdote and Atlantic Walrus capture, Whiskery © Jerry L.

A Bodacious Behemoth While sitting quietly near a Norwegian shoreline, the head of an Atlantic Walrus suddenly popped above the water’s surface and into view. Slowly the curious creature came forward revealing its immense size, enormous tusks and mustachioed lip. It was a bodacious behemoth. ~ Anecdote and Atlantic Walrus capture, A Bodacious Behemoth © Jerry L. Ferrara
