When does a walrus get tusks?

Answer 1

Walruses typically develop their tusks when they are around 15 months old, but the tusks grow more prominently as they mature. Male walruses usually have larger tusks, which can grow up to three feet long, and they continue to grow throughout the animal's life. Female walruses also have tusks, though they are generally shorter and less robust. The tusks serve various purposes, including helping with feeding, social interactions, and establishing dominance.
