Walruses have thick, wrinkly skin and a lot of blubber to keep them warm. Their tusks can grow up to three feet long. Walruses have big, bristly whiskers on their face that look like a mustache.
Walruses use their whiskers to find clams and snails on the dark ocean floor. They suck the clams right out of their shells! A walrus can eat thousands of clams in one meal.
