An Atlantic walrus bellows toward the camera near Igloolik, Nunavut, Canada. Walrus populations were in serious decline during centuries of wholesale slaughter for their blubber and tusks. They now number between 10,000 and 50,000, but conservation efforts appear to be having a positive effect. Photograph by Paul Nicklen
