Happy Walrus Day! Our 2,640-pound male walrus, Balzak (pronounced BELL-zik), is enjoying fresh sustainable seafood and ice treats for enrichment. Walruses like Balzak are equipped with incredibly powerful suction abilities, allowing them to create vacuum-like seals to feed on the ocean floor. With the help of their strong, muscular tongues, they can effortlessly slurp up mollusks, clams, and other invertebrates buried in the sandy seabed. | Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium

An important announcement from our 2,000 pound male walrus. The 7-year-old walrus’s care team describes him as reserved and patient. Arriving from Vancouver du Québec last November, Balzak (pronounced bell’-zik) and female walrus Lakina continue to thrive at Point Defiance Zoo & #Aquarium Vocalizations and behaviors, like whistling, grumbling, and blowing bubbles, are natural behaviors that walruses use in the wild. #walrus #walruses #pointdefiancezoo

Walruses are social animals and are known for their unique and loud vocalizations. A male walrus roar can reach levels of up to 120 decibels, making them one of the loudest sounds produced by marine mammals. The caps on the walrus tusks are to help protect them as they grow - similar to a night guard for human teeth! Video from zookeeper Kristyn #walrus#walruses#pointdefiancezoo#animalcare
