	WALRUS - Scientific Classification
		Several studies based on molecular data have linked the walrus more closely to the otariids, yet the pinniped family that the odobenids are most closely allied to is still in question.
		Some researchers divide the Odobenidae into two subfamilies: the Odobeninae (living walruses of the genus Odobenus and six extinct walrus genera) and the Dusignathinae (four extinct walrus genera).
		Odobenus comes from the Greek: "tooth walker", and refers to the walruses' method of pulling themselves up onto the ice with their long tusks.

	Walrus
		Walruses are large semi-aquatic mammals that live in the cold Arctic seas of the Northern Hemisphere.
		Odobenus is compounded from "odous" Greek for tooth and "baino" Greek for walk, based on observations of walruses using their tusks to drag themselves along.
		Pacific Walruses spend the summer north of the Bering Strait in the Chulchi Sea along the north shore of eastern Siberia, around Wrangle Island[?], in the Beaufort Sea along the north shore of Alaska, and in the waters between those locations.

	Comparative Placentation
		Several subspecies are nominated: Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus for the Atlantic animal and O.
		The name (Odobenus) derives from the Greek for tooth and walking, as the animals have been observed to pull themselves over ice with their modified canines (tusks); and rosmarus derives from the Scandinavian denomination of the animal (Gotch, 1979).

	Digimorph - Odobenus rosmarus (walrus) - adult
		Odobenus rosmarus is the only extant species of walrus.
		Odobenidae is defined phylogenetically as the most recent common ancestor of the fossil Neotherium and extant Odobenus, plus all of its descendants (Deméré, 1994a, b; see also Tedford and Repenning, 1977).
		Odobenidae consists of two subgroups: Dusignathae, which are all fossil taxa from the Miocene of California and Baja California; and Odobeninae, which is composed of both fossils and the extant genus Odobenus.

	Tusks
		In 1758 the Latin term from Linneaus, Odobenus rosmarus, meaning ‘tooth-walker’ was given because of the elongated upper canines, or tusks, that both males and females appear to use to pull themselves around on the ice.

	Walrus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Walruses (from Dutch: wal meaning "shore", and r(e)us meaning "giant") are large semi-aquatic mammals that live in the cold Arctic seas of the Northern Hemisphere.
		Two subspecies exist: the Atlantic, Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus, and the Pacific, Odobenus rosmarus divergens.
		The compound Odobenus comes from odous (Greek for "tooth") and baino (Greek for "walk"), based on observations of walruses using their tusks to pull themselves out of the water.

	Walrus (Odobenus rosmarus)
		Two subspecies are commonly recognized: the Atlantic walrus, Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus (Linnaeus, 1758), and the Pacific walrus, Odobenus rosmarus divergens (Illiger, 1815).
		A third subspecies has been proposed, the Laptev Sea walrus, Odobenus rosmarus laptevi (Chapski, 1940), but this is not commonly recognized as such.
		The walrus is a very large and robust pinniped, with a cinnamon-brown skin, which becomes lighter with age.

		Valenictus is more closely related to Odobenus than any other known fossil walrus and in some ways is more advanced than the living species.
		Like Odobenus, Valenictus had tusks, however, these are the only teeth possessed by Valenictus.
		Modern Odobenus rosmarus feeds in the same manner and, although it retains cheek teeth, it does not use them in feeding.

		Walruses (Odobenus rosmarus) are instantly recognizable by their ivory tusks—useful tools for life on the ice.
		Walruses hook their tusks into ice floes to help haul their bodies from the water, but more often they display these huge teeth to intimidate others and use them to joust for prime real estate.
