Discussion

  • Males are assumed to differ from females by {p_Am} and E_Hp only.
  • mod_1: males have equal state variables at b, compared to females

Facts

  • This species is subdivided into three subspecies:the Atlantic walrus (O. r. rosmarus) which lives in the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific walrus (O. r. divergens) which lives in the Pacific Ocean, and O. r. laptevi, which lives in the Laptev Sea of the Arctic Ocean. (Ref: Wiki)
  • Sexual dimorphism: males larger (Ref: ADW)
