Dusignathus (SciiFii)

The fur walrus (Dusignathus mexicanus), also known as the four-tusked walrus, is a species of walrus that originally lived in California and Mexico during the Miocene and Pliocene as an extinct species of Dusignathus and the genus itself was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and introduced throughout the coastlines of California, Oregon, and Mexico, and across the eastern Californian Great Barrier Reef to help boost biodiversity. The fur walrus is a rather large walrus, growing to be about 3.3 meters (10.8 feet) in length and weighing about 2,000 kilograms (4,409 lb). As its name suggests, the fur walrus is covered in a fine layer of short fur, in addition to thick blubber, in case of colder temperatures. Uniquely among walruses, the fur walrus has four short tusks, two from the upper jaw and two from the lower. The fur walrus is molluskivorous and primarily feeds on benthic mollusks, although it also feeds on mollusks from the more coastal areas. The fur walrus is a social animal that lives in large colonies consisting of up to around 200 individuals at a time. The conservation status of the fur walrus is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the fur walrus' wide range.
