Walrus
Svalbard

This old fellow has seen better days- both of his tusks are broken off.  He was by himself up near the pack ice.

Lovely portrait Cindy. He does look a bit battle weary and worn out...

Rather sad -looking- I wonder how old he could be. Lovey portrait.

He does look well-fed but the tusks tell the story. I'm wondering about the reddish color on his face, is that blood?

Definitely the worse for wear and no longer able to fight for his territory or harem, he has become an old loner. The broken tusks and his appearance speak volumes, Cindy.
