Walrus is a kind of mammal living in the sea, which is an animal in Mammalia, Carnivora and Pinniped suborder. Among the pinnipeds, the walrus is relatively large, just as the elephant is relatively large in land animals, which is also one of the reasons for their name. When they reach adulthood, male walruses can grow to between 3.4 and 4.5 meters in length, sometimes larger; From the weight point of view, its weight can reach more than 1200 kg, and the heavier can reach 3000 kg. Female walruses are slightly smaller, ranging from 2.9 to 3.3 meters long and weighing between 600 and 900 kilograms.
Specifically, there are some factors that affect the specific size of walruses. For example, the adequacy of food is an important factor. If the food is sufficient, then the walrus can get enough nutrition, in this case, their development is good, and their size is also large. However, in the case of insufficient food, sometimes walruses can only eat some plants or even sediment at the bottom of the ocean. In this case, it may affect the growth and development of walruses.
Under normal circumstances, walruses have a relatively long life span, at least 30 years, and those with a relatively long life span can live for about 40 years or even longer. However, this is only when the environment is more suitable and there is no human factor. In real life, there are many factors that affect the life span of walruses. For example, the suitability of the environment and the adequacy of food, in the case of the environment is not suitable for walrus growth or food is very insufficient, the life span of walrus will be reduced. Moreover, there are many human factors that can shorten the life span of walruses, such as climate warming caused by human activities, which may lead to the death of some walruses.
