A
walrus parrot? Photo shopping at its best!
Classy earrings, but what are they? Porcupine quills? Noooo---how
about WALRUS WHISKERS! - YES! Would you kiss a walrus with whiskers like
these? I don't think so! We now have them available for sale, see
below! Here's
some really cool information about how walrus use their whiskers:
When
foraging, walruses dive to the bottom and comb through the silt and sand for
shellfish with flippers pointed skyward. Eyes closed tight against the
billowing clouds of silt they kick up while feeding, walruses root about with
some 480-odd vibrissae roughly the texture of uncooked spaghetti to locate
shellfish as small as a couple of centimeters long. They use
their whiskers like chopsticks to manipulate the clams they find. Walrus
follow the edge of pack ice each year and are found mostly in the Bering Sea
near St. Lawrence Island, Alaska.
Blindfolded
walruses could tell the difference between flat circles and triangles half the
size of an M&M. With muscle fibers crisscrossed in all directions like the
beams of the Eiffel tower, they can control each individual vibrissa. It’s
amazing to see what they can do.
Drop a piece of squid on the edge of a walrus’s vibrissae pads, and it will
broom the morsel mouthward with a few quick jerks of its whisker hairs.
Blindfolded by ear protectors, a walrus uses its broom-stiff whiskers to
distinguish between tiny shapes on a patterned panel.
GENUINE
WALRUS WHISKER EARRINGS FOR SALE
Whiskers made into earrings by Alaskan Native
CHARITY BELL of Brevig Mission, Alaska. Remember, Alaskan natives
catch the walrus and use as much as humanly possible (whether it is eaten,
made into functional items or art, the rest is returned to the sea), this is a very creative
way.
