The Natural History of the Walrus
The Walrus is one of the largest members of the seal family, with adult males often weighing up to 1,500 kilograms. Their tusks are actually elongated canine teeth that grow throughout their lives, sometimes reaching up to 1 meter in length. This skull (SKU 1058) perfectly captures the density and strength required for a creature that survives in the harshest icy waters of the Arctic Ocean.
SEO FAQ: People Also Ask
Is it legal to own a walrus skull in Canada?
Yes, owning a walrus skull is legal provided it is accompanied by the correct documentation. By Max provides all necessary papers (such as CITES or origin declarations) to ensure the legality of your purchase and its origin.
How are walrus skulls cleaned and preserved?
Professional taxidermists use a combination of maceration or dermestid beetles to clean the bone without damaging its structure, followed by a degreasing process and a final stabilization. This ensures the skull is odorless, white/creamy in color, and structurally sound.
What is the difference between a full walrus skull and a walrus mask?
A full walrus skull includes the entire cranium and often the lower jaw, providing a 360-degree anatomical view. A walrus mask is typically just the nose plate and tusks, designed to be mounted flat against a wall. The full skull is preferred by collectors looking for a freestanding or pedestal-mounted display.
Does By Max offer international shipping for walrus skulls?
Yes, By Max offers free shipping on many items; however, for larger or fragile items like the Walrus Skull, specific shipping arrangements are made to ensure safe, insured delivery to your location.
