a photo of a partial pontolis skull
happy #worldwalrusday! this is pontolis, a massive walrus from the miocene and pliocene of north america 🦭 scaling the skull material suggests that it may have been as large as an elephant seal, with weight estimates ranging between 2-4 tonnes

#worldwalrusday Walruses today live in the Arctic, but walrus fossils keep being discovered in ancient marine rocks from California! Read all about the 'toothless' walrus Valenictus sheperdi which we named from Santa Cruz last year: 🧪🦖🐬 coastalpaleo.blogspot.com/2024/02/vale...

It's #WorldWalrusDay! Long ago when I was part of an excavation team on Alaska's North Slope a baby walrus washed up on the beach close to our camp and wandered for days looking for its mama. There was nothing we could do. I felt so helpless.

Did you know that a walrus's tusks are actually elongated canine teeth? Their tusks not only help them to get out of the water, but also used for protection from predators, as well as displays of dominance.

Collage of five walrus faces made from original pen and ink drawings on cheese cloth colored with ink
Poem, "Umbrellas for the Walrus" (c) constance lee menefee One of the great summer surprises was an invasion overnight, which along the Arctic Ocean is waxing and waning always light - tide pools each fitted like a glove holding a giant beribboned parasol softly pulsing away its peculiar, precarious version of life: we were iust sky and tundra separated from the sea by rounded magic rocks that bloomed from gray to flowers in the mist - and of course, the sudden jellyfish. --End--

An ink drawing of a walrus facing the viewer with ornate filigree tusks.

My 8” x 10” linocut print “Winter Walrus” from 2008 shows a large purplish brown walrus emerging from water surrounded by ice printed in blue.The walrus faces the viewer.
A throwback for World Walrus Day - this limited edition walrus #linocut. Rapid climate change and loss of sea ice in the arctic is a challenge for these extraordinary mammals.

Print of an adult walrus and two pups on a rock in the sea with polar bears and ice in the backdrop from William Jardine's Naturalist's Library of 1838.
24 November is #WorldWalrusDay. These dapper examples are from William Jardine's Naturalist's Library of 1838. The book describes how the animals' 'coating of oily fat' (blubber) enables them to 'repose on their icy beds without inconvenience'.
Anyone else got a good walrus to share? #RareBooks

An embroidered illustration of a walrus with 4 feet, a whale like tail and upward pointed tusks the body is covered in vertical stripes of embroidery and fabric paint.
It’s #WorldWalrusDay so it’s a good excuse to repost this #HandEmbroidery version I made recently, based on an 1579 illustration.

Thanks to @exeterunispeccoll.bsky.social we have discovered today is #WorldWalrusDay!
Our illustration from Millais' 'The Mammals of Great Britain and Ireland' 1904 might not be as expressive but we think it's just as majestic

Cropped image from a book showing a colour illustration of a walrus in side profile. The walrus is lying down in side profile on sandy ground next to a body of water. It has a slightly doleful expression on its face.
Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the walruses, for today is their special day!
To celebrate World Walrus Day, here is an illustration of a walrus from the book 'Animated Nature' (1828) by Georges-Louis Leclerc.

Two colour illustrations from a book showing a manatee, above, and a walrus, below. The manatee is lying down on its side on sandy ground next to a body of water. The walrus is lying down in side profile on sandy ground next to a body of water.
Good morning to everyone, but especially to all the manatees and walruses!
Did you know November is Manatee Awareness Month, and yesterday was World Walrus Day? Here they both are in illustrations from 'Animated Nature' (1828).

It's #WorldWalrusDay. In 2006, a walrus boarded the K-186 Omsk and took a nap as the Russian sub was undergoing maintenance in Kamchatka. It could have been worse. In 2019, a small Russian Navy boat in the Arctic was attacked and sunk by a female walrus protecting her calves.
