This amazing Scuplture is carved from a single piece of hard stone. It is a substantial sculpture, 13.5 inches x 24 inches x 9 inches and weighs approx. 50 lbs. In the opinion of the Gallery, one of the best the artist has ever produced:)
Polar Bears are known to attack Walruses. They will often search for the Calves first since they are smaller and don't have large Tusks but often, especially when hunting in groups , they will go after the Bull Walruses. A tough Match for the Polar Bear but eventually the Polar Bear will kill and move the 4000 lb prey!
