Summary

In this throwback episode, we return the walrus. A very early one in our podcast it was one you might have missed! A fan-favorite, in this episode we explore the incredible history and evolution of these tusked giants, uncovering their ancient origins and adaptations to life in icy waters. Learn about their unique physiology, from their blubbery insulation to their impressive tusks, and their intriguing social behavior, including their communal nature and vocalizations. We'll also discuss the walrus' conservation status, the threats they face from climate change and human activity, and what we can do to protect these majestic marine mammals.
