Walruses are pinnipeds that are only outsized by the two species of elephant seals among pinnipeds in terms of size. Adult males in the Pacific can weigh more than 2,000 kilograms (4,400 pounds) and have conspicuous tusks and whiskers. Walruses spend a large portion of their lives on the sea ice searching for benthic bivalve mollusks to feed. They spend much of their time living in shallow waters above continental shelves.
