Probably the long tusks are used to rake up mussels and clams ; they also help the walrus to climb on to the ice. A young walrus was kept for some time by the members of the Jackson- Harmsworth Expedition, and was found to be an amusing pet. One kept on board a Dundee whaler used to sleep with an Eskimo dog, and got into the same kennel with it. It ate blubber and salt pork, but liked the sailors' pea soup better than anything else ; it was most sociable, and could not bear to be alone would tu...mble down the hatchway to seek the society of its beloved sailors, and scramble into the cabin if the door were open. When it fell ill and before it died, it seemed most grateful for any attention shown to it. The parent walrus shows the greatest cour- age in trying to defend the young one. Walruses are now scarce ; but as the ivory is the only part of them of much present value, there is a chance that they may not be killed off entirely. THE TRUE SEALS. The TRUE SEALS, with their greatly modified forms, heads set almost on to their shoulders, with no neck visible, have well-developed claws on all the toes, and in the typical species have double-rooted and small cheek teeth.
