Yes, walruses have "mustaches", or whiskers, or whatever they are
called :-). Only they are not made of hair, but of some kind of very
sensitive bristles, and walruses use these "mustaches" to forage for
clams and other food on the bottom of the sea. I think that both males
and females have tusks, so the walrus on that photo is probably a
baby, or a youngster, anyway :-).

Yeah, I guess that's how it is supposed to look, maybe even a little
longer. Roosevelt's mustache is OK too, but it would be better if the
mouth was covered by the hair. Roosevelt's mustache is the right form,
but it's too groomed :-)!
