The most prominent feature of our last species, the only one in the Odobenidae family: the walrus, is its long tusks. These are elongated canines, which are present in both male and female walruses and can reach a length of 1 m (3 ft 3 in). Tusks are used to form and maintain holes in the ice and aid the walrus in climbing out of water onto ice, and for fighting, dominance and display by males. While the dentition of walruses is highly variable, they generally have relatively few and/or rudimentary teeth other than the tusks.
