Description
Walrus on shore, basking in the late Alaska winter sun. (Framed)
The walrus inhabits both land and water, though most agile when in water.It is a superb swimmer with the ability to dive as deep as the ocean floor. He maneuvers quite speedily on land as well. He waljs on all four fins unlike other pinnepeds that have to drag their lower bodies with their fore fins. They live in large herds, dependent on the group for its survival. The group will join together t protect a single walrus that becomes under attack. As a totem, the walrus teaches the importance of connectedness ,and the lesson that each individual is important. Its tusks serve as a tool for climbing out of the water, onto the ice, though also for defensive purposes when attacked. He also has a thick skin which serves as an armour from natural predators. He is a multifaceted character, who is interesting to study. The walrus is said to be the keeper of wisdom and secrets.

Speaking of connectedness, Dianna, have I got a gal for Walter: Sieglinde at the Baltimore zoo, whom I used to take our first-born many years ago to visit. Rona considered her the cat's meow (or perhaps a bit louder than that...). I can picture them roaring a duet--with intermittent fin splashes...

This walrus obviously rises to great heights in your artistic Wonderworld, Dianna, and rightly so. You've treated his chocolaty hide with all the intricate detail it deserves! I also liked your choice of Peter De Jager's "Horse in the Mist" for Nature's Wonders; thanks for including my 'Liberty Place.'
