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.

Fun Walrus Facts

We hope you and your little ones enjoyed exploring the fascinating world of walruses with our coloring pages. Before you go, let's dive into some interesting facts about these amazing marine mammals:

Walruses are known for their long tusks, which can grow up to 3 feet in length. They use these tusks for various purposes, such as breaking through ice and defending themselves from predators.
Walruses are social animals and often gather in large groups called "haul-outs" on land or ice.
A walrus's diet mainly consists of clams, mollusks, and other small sea creatures. They have an incredible ability to locate their prey under the ocean floor using their sensitive whiskers, called vibrissae.
Despite their massive size, walruses are excellent swimmers, reaching speeds of up to 22 miles per hour in the water.
Walruses are considered "keystone species" in the Arctic ecosystem, as their feeding habits help recycle nutrients and maintain the balance of the food web.

We hope these fun facts inspire you and your children to learn more about walruses and the importance of preserving their natural habitats.

About the Artist/Author:

Hello! I'm Leanne, the creative mind behind coloring.ws. I love nothing more than enjoying a warm cup of tea and a quiet day with a good friend. Here’s a bit more about me:

Things I Love:

Drawing: My happy place is with a pencil in hand, bringing ideas to life on paper.
Early Childhood Education: I absolutely adore those early, eager-to-learn years with kids. Their curiosity and enthusiasm are infectious!
Mythology: From Greek gods to Aztec legends, I’m fascinated by the stories that have shaped cultures.
History: Exploring the past helps me understand the present and dream about the future.

Things I Have a Love/Hate Relationship With:

Technology: I love how it connects us and makes things easier, but why does it have to change so quickly?
Trivia Nights: I'm your go-to person for fun facts, yet somehow, I always end up in second or third place. Frustrating!
Gardening: I like to think I have a green thumb, but it has a few brown speckles. My plants and I are working on it.
Animals: I adore my pets and they bring me so much joy, but oh, the chores! Why can’t they clean up after themselves?

I earned my degree back in the early '90s, and as a lifelong learner, I continue to delve into the things I love. This includes technology (though I struggle to keep up!), art, early childhood education, history, and mythology as it relates to sociology.

I know that while the coloring pages are largely for kids, many of you visiting the site are educators and caregivers. I’ve tried to share some interesting trivia tidbits and fun facts to make your visit enjoyable too. Happy coloring!
