Look! A walrus is brushing its teeth. How adorable is that!

The walrus is often mistaken for the sea lion. However, it is different from the sea lion in many ways including its physical structure. The walrus is so huge that it can weigh up to 2,000 kg. The big long teeth are tusks, which are used for fighting and climbing out of water. The walrus is an endangered species as humans are hunting them for their ivory tusks.

Challenge!

Can you find the objects hidden in the big picture?
