Whiskers allow animals to gather information on their environment even if they cannot see. One obvious benefit to whiskers is that they give immediate feedback on the size of a space relative to the size of the animal allowing the animal to determine if an openning can be navigated without getting struck.
Whiskers also act to protect an animal's head and eyes.
A walrus has ivory tusks. A narwhal has a single ivory tusk.
They use their whiskers to feel its way underwater and to find food.
Walrus are mammals.
Because it helps it feel for food in the winter because it is dark in the water in winter
Walrus stay warm by: 1. Their thick blubber "fat" is used as an insulation against the cold. 2. They huddle in massive groups.
The walrus has a thick layer of blubber beneath the skin to keep it warm.
•Living on Ice - The walrus has reversible hind flippers which make it possible for them to keep their balance. They are also bumpy which keep them from sliding off the ice. The walrus uses its head to break through the ice. It has tusks to help it climb and pull itself out of the water to the ice surface. The walrus also uses its tusks to break breathing holes in the ice. • Living in freezing temperatures - The walrus has a really thick coat of blubber which protects it from the freezing temperatures, the blubber also protects them from the cold wind when it lies out on the ice. • Diving for food in freezing waters - When the walrus dives in to the water, their blood moves away from its skin to its major organs, to keep itself warm, reducing heat loss to the environment. Then when the Walrus is warm on the surface, the blood comes back to the skin so the walrus appears pink.

Dogs do not have whiskers on their legs, just their fur. Sometimes when the fur on their legs is thick and long, it is called "feathers". The only whiskers a dog has is on its muzzle and sides of the face.
yes they have a thick fur for winter and a light one for summer
Dogs have bumps on their face called whisker pads, which are clusters of thick, sensitive hairs called whiskers. Whiskers help dogs sense their surroundings by detecting changes in air currents and vibrations, aiding in navigation and communication.
