THE WALRUS. This extremely ugly animal lives in the region of perpetual ice in the extreme north, and the group in the picture is appropriately 



shown resting lazily on an immense ice field near the water. The head is the most noticeable part of the Walrus, especially the two large tusks, and the thick 

 growth of horny whiskers on the upper lip and cheeKs. Some writers divide the family into two species, the North Atlantic and the North Pacific Walruses, 

 but others, while recognizing slight differences, regard the two kinds as being only local varieties of the same species. (Trichechus rosmarus.)
