Walruslike

Walruslike is an adjective used to describe something that resembles a walrus. This resemblance can manifest in various ways, often related to physical characteristics. Common features that might lead to something being described as walruslike include a bulky, stout build, prominent tusks or protruding teeth, a thick, whiskered muzzle, or a general impression of being somewhat ungainly or blubbery. The term is typically applied to animals, particularly mammals, that share these traits. For example, a large, tusked marine mammal might be described as walruslike, even if it is not a true walrus. It can also be used more metaphorically to describe objects or even people who exhibit similar features, such as a person with a prominent mustache and a round physique. The connotation of "walruslike" is generally neutral, focusing on physical comparison rather than judgment. It simply denotes a similarity in appearance to the well-known Arctic pinniped.
