Walrus
Walruses (from Dutch walrus, probably a folk-etymological alteration - via Dutch walvis "whale" and ros "horse" - of an older Scandinavian word related to Old Norse rosmhvalr, "red? whale" or "walrus") are large semi-aquatic mammals that live in the cold Arctic seas of the Northern Hemisphere.
