Walrus

Emerging Walrus, Arctic Circle
Emerging Walrus, Arctic Circle

What amazes me about both Polar regions is the amount of wildlife that lives there.  In the Arctic we ran across walruses quite often.  One of them even sunk one of our beached Zodiacs.  These are animals that are giants.  Best known for the tusks.  This shot was a lucky one for me as I caught it right after it raised its head from the water.  I love the water dripping off the tusks.  Shot with A Nikon D7100 and 80-400 lens which turned out to be the ideal set up for this kind of shooting.
