Walrus Tusk

an upper canine tooth of a walrus. In males, the tusks are laterally compressed and may reach a length of 72 cm and a weight of 3 kg; in females, they are shorter and more rounded in section. The walrus uses the tusks to dig for food (primarily mollusks) from the sea bottom, to lift itself up onto ice floes, and to defend itself against enemies. Walrus tusks are used for carving small sculpture, beads, brooches, knives, and similar articles; the Chukchi, Eskimo, and other peoples of the north are particularly skillful in this art.
