Walruses have long tasks, up to a metre in length. They do not use them to capture prey, however, but to defend themselves against hungry polar bears, or to climb out of the water or over rocks. You can tell the age of a walrus by how light-coloured its skin has become & how long its tusks have grown. Schleich manufacture amazingly wonderful accurate models of all sorts of animals, including this Walrus model. This Schleich Walrus has been beautifully hand painted to give wonderful role play to children & also makes a great collectors item for the nature enthusiast.
