Walrus Pair

Two Atlantic walruses snuggle on an ice floe near Igloolik, Nunavut, Canada. Walruses have enormous appetites and hunt for food almost constantly. Their distinctive whiskers are extremely sensitive and help them locate clams and other shellfish buried on the seafloor. They use their ample lips to suction out the meat.
