The details on this 3-D puzzle animal toy add another dimension, so you could say it is 4-D (3-D + details)! It is certainly one of the more detailed we have seen, making it an interesting replica as well as a fun toy for adults and children above the age of 3. This delightful walrus measures 3 1/2 inches from head to tail flippers and 2 inches high to the top of the head. It comes unassembled, "frozen" inside a blue plastic "ice" cube. The pieces are cleverly fitted, flexible, and not too difficult to assemble. When completed, place this charming walrus on display with your favorite treasures and collectibles. To see our entire inventory of puzzle animals, go to our 3-D Puzzle Animals page. Come look through our entire collection of walrus toys and gifts.

The two subspecies of walrus, the Pacific, which is the largest, and the Atlantic, live in the Northern Hemisphere in the arctic and subarctic regions. The tusks, which give the walrus its distinctive appearance, are found on both the male (bull) and female (cow). Cows weigh up to 2,800 pounds and reach up to 10 feet long. Bulls are much larger at up to 4,000 pounds and up to 12 feet long. Like sea lions, walruses are able to rotate their rear flippers under their pelvis and pivot their front flippers to the side, giving them the abililty to walk and climb. These semi-aquatic mammals have a thick layer of fat beneath their tough leathery skin, which is covered by a thin layer of light brown hair. In warm weather, tiny blood vessels in the skin dilate, increasing circulation, which sheds excess body heat. This causes the skin to turn pink.
