Where does a walrus live? Walruses live in Antarctica and arctic seas. They are related to seals, whom are related to both walruses and sea lions. So I do believe that walruses are related not just to …seals, but also to their relatives, the sea lions.

Antarctic Animals - Marine Life and Adaptations In recent years, spider crabs have been found in several locations around Antarctica, which has led to warnings of how an invasion could place much of the Antarctic marine fauna in danger as this new predator is now able to return to Antarctica now that sea temperatures were rising as a result of global warming.

Walrus The species name rosmarus is Scandinavian. The Norwegian manuscript Konungsskuggsja, thought to date from around AD 1240, refers to the walrus as rosmhvalr in Iceland and rostungr in Greenland (walruses were by now extinct in Iceland and Norway, while the word evolved on in Greenland).urrounding the tusks is a broad mat of stiff bristles ('mystacial vibrissae '), giving the walrus a characteristic whiskered appearance. There can be 400 to 700 vibrissae in 13 to 15 rows reaching 30 cm (12 in) in length, though in the wild they are often worn to much shorter lengths due to constant use in foraging.

Toothed whale Six species of baleen whales are found in Antarctica, including the huge blue whale which is the largest animal that has ever lived. It grows up to 24 metres and can weigh 84 tonnes. Other baleen species are the fin, southern right whale, sei, minke and humpback. Four species of toothed whales are found in Antarctica. Except for the sperm whale, they are much smaller than the baleen whales and weren't widely hunted. The other species are the southern bottlenose whale, the orca whale and the southern fourtooth whale.

Walrus Atlantic walruses inhabit coastal areas from northeastern Canada to Greenland, while Pacific walruses inhabit the northern seas off Russia and Alaska, migrating seasonally from their southern range in the Bering Sea—where they are found on the pack ice in winter—to the Chukchi Sea.alruses use their iconic long tusks for a variety of reasons, each of which makes their lives in the Arctic a bit easier. They use them to haul their enormous bodies out of frigid waters, thus their tooth-walking label, and to break breathing holes into ice from below.
