We have for the most part eliminated bison from their notlve haunts and to a great extend feel that we are superior in intellllgence to the aver­ age Eskimo and yet the Eskimo has seen to it that the harvest of wal-, ruses be limited to the needs of man and to such an extent that the walrus may continue to maintain its existence, It would seem that in a reevaluation of ourselves we might well recognize that the Eskimo has shown more sense than have we. It would seem offhand that a walrus must have been built from a plan originally drawn by some inebriated cartoonist. Nevertheless, as is usually the case, it Is an an­ imal whose structure fits it re­ markably to the available food sup­ ply and to the environment in which it lives. Its enormous tusks provide excellent tools with which molluscs may be broken loose from the sea m. it is these molluscs which the walrus feeds for the most part. A single tusk of a male wal­ rus may be over 3 feet long and weigh to 9 pounds. The tusk of the female walrus is more slender nnd bowed. In the Atlantic, walruses are found 1 Arctic seas south to Labra­ dor. In the Pacific area, they are found from Bering Sea south of the Pribllof Islands being more abundant on the Siberian side than on the Alaskan shore. There is an annual migration with courtship and mating taking place on the northern migration about a month after the young are born, In the Atlantic group, the young are born from the middle of April to late May; In the Pacific, In May or June. Mating takes place about 11 months before the young are born. A newborn calf is gray, about 4 feet long and no teeth show externally. By August a young walrus may weigh to 120 pounds. Young walruses cling to the mother’s neck while she swims and dives. They may nurse for 2 years by which time they have grown tusks which arc to 4 inches long nnd adequate for food getting. A bull walrus inay measure to 12 feet long nnd may weigh to 3,000 pounds. The female is about 2/3 the size of tho male. The animals are practically hairless nnd tailless. The five toes on tho forward flippers bear flat nails and the nose Is blunt and provided with coarse brltles, Two hind toes bear both flat nails and pointed nails. Walruses may feel In water to 300 feet deep almost standing on their heads when doing so. The stomach can hold only about 1 gal­ lon of food, The animals may be found in great herds and may be great noise makers. They have many louse parasites and are prayer upon by killer whales, bears and of course by man. From a walrus carcass, atf Eskimo gets valuable oil for light, flesh for food, bones and hide for equipment, intestines for window glass and tusks for sale and trade. Bo important are the animats for survival to Eskimos that It would seem th a t white men should in no way Interfere with their economy except to provide protection where needed. Th herds in Hudson Bay and to some extent in Siberia seem to be holding up reasonably well, The National Wildlife Federation Is In­ terested In protecting these ani­ mals reasonably just as it is in­ terested in similar rational treat­ ment for other forms of wlldllfe.™ X.
