QUEEREST OF SEA MAMMALS.
The Grotesque Walrua Hai a Strong
Maternal Instinct.
Tlie walruoes, or ‘'sea horses” of the
old.navigators, are the struugeBt iiip.1
ini-.st grotesque of ail sea uinwcuils.
Their large, rugged luxids, armed with
two long ivory tusks, and their huge
swollen bodies, covered witli hairless."
wriukled and warty skin, give them n
formidable appeuvance unlike that of
any other nianmiul. They are much
larger than most seals, the old -males
Weighing ifroin 2,<HX> to 3,01)0 pounds
and tiie females about tv, o-tbirds as
much.
Walruses have a strongly developed ;
maternal Instinct and show great de:
votlou and disregard of their own safe-
ty In defending the young. The Eskl- |
coos at Capo Vancouver, Bering sea,
hunt them in frail skin covered kyaks, 1
using ivory or hone pointed spears and
sealskin floats.
Several hunters told me of exciting
and dangerous encounters.they had ex-
perienced with mother walruses. If
the young are attacked or even ap-
proached the mother does not hesitate j
•to charge furiously. Tlio hunters con-
fess tbnt on such occasions there Is
no option hut to pndtlle for one’s life.
Occasionally an old walrus is un-
usually vindictive and, after forcing n ;
hunter to toko refuge on the ice. will
