Odobenus rosmarus

Very rare vagrants to Britain, mainly up in Shetland from Arctic Greenland.

Adult Walrus are characterised by prominent tusks and whiskers, and considerable bulk; Adult Males in the Pacific can weigh more than 2,000 kilograms (4,400 pounds) and, among pinnipeds, are exceeded in size only by the two species of Elephant Seals.
