I’m one of the few tusk dentists in the world, but I’ve worked with everything from aardvarks to elephants to gorillas to zebras. This will be my first time with walruses, though.
Walruses fracture their tusks on the concrete floor of their cages. We’ll be removing both tusks from 10 walruses. It’s a complicated operation because they’re so big. But walruses are very nice animals.
