Funny voice filters aside, walruses do have an impressive range of vocalizations. They are among the most vocal of the pinniped family, which includes seals and sea lions. Walruses even have vocal cords. During courtship, male walruses can make clicks, knocks, whistles, and even humming sounds both above AND below the water to attract females.

Balzak the Walrus was born at the Aquarium du Quebec back in 2016 and I had the privilege of working with this handsome walrus for several years. During that time, Balzak participated in several important research projects into the metabolism of walruses and this information was used to enact laws and policies aimed at protecting his cousins in the wild.

Recently, Balzak and his sister Lakina have moved to Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium where I had the opportunity to see him again after several years. He looks great and I can't wait to see more of him and his sister Lakina in the near future!
