The scientific name for the Walrus is Odobenus rosmarus. The genus name Odobenus comes from the Greek words "odous," meaning tooth, and "benos," meaning walking, referring to the prominent tusks that walruses use for various activities. The species name rosmarus is believed to come from an Old Norse word meaning "horse-whale" due to the walrus's size and appearance.
