Walrus
The grayish skin of the walrus is 2–4 cm (1–2 inches) thick, with deep
folds around the shoulders. The skin is covered with short reddish hair,
giving the animals an overall cinnamon colour. The walrus has a rounded
head, small eyes, and no external ears.
Its muzzle is short and broad and has a conspicuous moustache of stiff,
quill-like whiskers (vibrissae). The male, which reaches a maximum
length and weight of about 3.7 metres (12 feet) and 1,700 kg (3,700
pounds), is about a third larger than the female.
