Meet the majestic Rosmarus, also known as the Atlantic walrus and manatee of the North. These incredible creatures, scientifically named Odobenus rosmarus and Trichechus manatus respectively, inhabit the icy waters surrounding Vibebukta, Austfonna, Nordaustlandet in Svalbard Islands, Norway. On this beautiful day captured on 09-06-2018, we witness a glimpse into their fascinating world. The DDE-90034417 image showcases a group of these magnificent walruses basking in the sunlight on an ice floe. Their massive bodies and distinctive tusks are truly awe-inspiring. In DDE-90034416 photograph, we see a mother Rosmarus nurturing her adorable calf with utmost tenderness, and is heartwarming to witness such strong maternal instincts among these marine mammals. The series of images from DDE-90034381 to DDE-90034343 highlight various aspects of their behavior and habitat. From playful interactions between individuals to graceful dives beneath the frigid waters, each frame captures a unique moment in their lives. Rosmarii are highly social animals that form tight-knit communities called herds or pods. They rely on one another for protection against predators like polar bears and killer whales who lurk nearby. These gentle giants play a crucial role in maintaining the delicate balance of our ecosystem by feeding primarily on mollusks and other bottom-dwelling organisms found in Arctic waters. As they dive deep into the ocean depths searching for food using their sensitive whiskers (vibrissae), they contribute to nutrient cycling within these fragile ecosystems. However, despite their resilience and adaptability over centuries, Rosmarii face numerous threats today due to climate change and human activities such as hunting and pollution. Conservation efforts are vital to ensure future generations can continue marveling at these remarkable creatures' existence.
