Walrus

Description

A walrus is a heavy-bodied marine mammal that lives in Arctic regions, easily recognized by its long tusks, wrinkled skin, and thick layer of blubber for warmth. This animal falls under the Natural Sciences category and is often used in lessons on animal adaptation, marine biology, and polar habitats. A tactile graphic of a walrus can help students explore how animals survive in cold climates, understand food chains in the ocean, and compare physical traits among mammals. It’s especially useful in units on biodiversity and environmental science.
