The walrus is one of the Arctic’s most enigmatic animals. With three-foot long tusks and a droopy mustache, everyone knows what these marine mammals look like, but few ever see them in the wild. For Kirk Johnson, a paleontologist and Sant Director of the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, the walrus has been a creature close to his heart for 40 years.
Join us at the National Museum of Natural History for a screening of PBS Nature "Walrus: Life on Thin Ice" followed by a conversation between Kirk Johnson and PBS Executive Producer Fred Kaufman moderated by Associate Director for Advancement and Communications Virginia Kromm.
