Flirting With Death



The walrus is immediately recognized by its prominent whiskers and great bulk. Adult Pacific males can weigh up to 4,500 pounds (2,000 kg) and, among pinnipeds, are exceeded in size only by the two species of elephant seals.

Definitely a rare species, and an extremely difficult photo to take considering the size and girth of this beast.
