1998, 114-page oversize hardcover photographic tribute to a remarkable animal, not unlike a small elephant that swims. Both aquatic and terrestrial, walruses spend 2/3 of their lives in frigid Arctic waters; the rest of the time you often see them loafing on ice or on land, snoozing a bit at times. Their tusks are most noticeable, as are their baggy bodies. Here is everything you always wanted to know about walruses, written and photographed by a skilled wildlife biologist. This is an excellent tribute to an unusual beast, "one of nature's rarest sights."
