Odin, the big male.

Thanks very much for identifying the individual animal.

Although it was great to see walruses back in Hamburg again, it is sad that none of the adults have tusks; hopefully the young walrus, which still has its tusks, will eventually develop a fine set of tusks.

The previous Hamburg walrus “Antje” had the most impressive tusks of any captive walrus that I’ve ever seen; I was fortunate enough to see her several times at Hagenbecks in years gone by (and on my last visit to Hamburg I saw her mounted in the Hamburg Zoology Museum).
