Talk:Walrus

Dominance
Walrus use their tusks to both establish and maintain their dominance within their social groups. Males will use their tusks while fighting with one another to become the dominant male. Once their dominance is established they use their tusks in a new way to stay the dominant male. If a challenger approaches the dominant male they will prop themselves up and point the ends of their tusks at the challenger to try to intimidate them. If the challenger is intimidated then the altercation will end, but if the challenger does not then a fight will ensue between the two and the winner will be the dominant male form that point on in the group.

Vocalizations
Walruses can produce many different sounds. They can even whistle. Something should be said about this in the article. But I can't just use this [] as a source, now can I? 2601:18A:C500:7170:7565:E488:64D5:7362 (talk) 20:39, 17 December 2022 (UTC)
