What adaptations does a walrus have?
•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.

Do walruses have blubber?
Yes.The walrus' skin is very wrinkly. These wrinkles are like armor and protect the walrus when they "joust" with thether males. Their thick skin also helps protect them from all predators except the orca whale, polar bear, and man. Living in the Arctic is not hard for the walrus to do because they have blubber under their skin. Blubber is their body fat. This protects them from the cold water in the Arctic. Your Welcome:) Good Luck!
