Walrus became famous for its enormous tusks, which are useful tools. With them, Walrus can pull itself up on icy land, forage for tasty clams and mussels on the ocean floor, or as a means of protection. In this, Walrus teaches us clever-minded adaptation even with something appearing awkward.

When this gentle giant the Walrus comes to you as a Spirit Animal, it speaks of leadership versus following. Walrus prefers the latter because it’s simpler. Now you are being asked about stepping up into a new role. The guidance here is to think about it. What will make you happy? Sometimes “followers” can do more than a leader from the background while another said person is in the limelight.

The Walrus Spirit Animal embodies family ties and friendship.
