The walrus has a diverse diet, feeding on numerous small marine organisms like shrimp, crabs, tube worms, soft corals, tunicates, sea cucumbers, mollusks etc. Their favorite prey are the "Benthic Bivalce Mollusks" in other words Clams. They forage for prey along the sea bottom and identify them using their sensitive whiskers. They are opportunistic and can evey prey on smaller seals when they find one.

∙ 12y agoDue to its sheer size and weight, there are only two known natural predators to adult Walruses. The Orca or Killer Whale and the Polar Bear. Even these predators aren't known to hunt on adults due to the danger of being hurt by their tusks. They prefer the Walrus calves as they are easier to hunt and less dangerous. Young ones that get crushed or wounded in a stampede are the easiest targets for the predators.
Apart from these natural predators, Man is the biggest hunter of Walruses. For centuries, the humans living in the Arctic regions have hunted & consumed Walrus Meat.
