Walrus Coloring Pages
Welcome to our Walrus coloring pages section.
Walruses, known for their distinctive tusks and whiskered faces, are fascinating marine mammals that inhabit the Arctic regions. These large, social creatures are easily recognized by their long tusks, which can grow up to three feet in length and are used for defense, cutting through ice, and helping them climb out of the water. Walruses have thick, blubbery skin that keeps them warm in the icy waters, and they feed primarily on benthic invertebrates like clams and mussels. Often seen lounging in large groups on ice floes or beaches, walruses are known for their loud vocalizations and playful behavior.
