Giant walrus (SciiFii)

The titan walrus (Pontolis magnus), also known as the giant walrus (not to be confused with Aivukus, which is often known as the giant walrus) is a species of massive walrus that originally lived in California and Oregon during the Miocene and Pliocene and was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the coastlines of southern Canada, throughout the Pacific coasts of the United States, and the Pacific coasts of Mexico to help boost biodiversity. The titan walrus is the largest species of walrus and among the largest of the pinnipeds, growing on average of around 16 feet (5 meters) and weigh about 4,000 kilograms, about the size of a southern elephant seal (Mirounga leonina). Compared with the tusked walrus (Odobenus rosmarus), also known as the saber-toothed walrus, the titan walrus has a more simple structure of the teeth, the more massive skull, rather large fangs, far shorter in length than those of the tusked walrus, and a more concave and elongated palate than the ancient walrus of the middle Miocene. The titan walrus is a carnivore that primarily feeds in fish, squid, krill, crabs, and other smaller aquatic prey. It is a social animal that lives in massive groups in a manner similar to its relatives such as tusked walruses, and males fight each other in order to win a right to mate with the females. The conservation status of the titan walrus is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the titan walrus' wide range and its tolerance to most of human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the coastal cities and suburbs, such as public beaches and seal docks. The humans tolerate the presence of titan walruses around them in public beaches, since, unlike most walruses, the titan walruses are completely peaceful, gentle, docile, and tame towards humans and their pets.
