Question 1 : How does a walrus eat with those huge tusks? Don't they block the food?

Answer 1 : They find food by scouring the ocean floor, searching through the mud; they use their long whiskers to detect their food, as visibility is limited. They move their snout through the sediment as they search for food, although they do not typically use their tusks for digging.

Question 2 : Any answers to why marine mammals beach themselves?

Answer 2 : In some cases, single animals may beach; in other scenarios, mass beachings can take place. There is quite a bit of variability between species, and location can also play a role, but there are a number of factors that, it is thought, can cause the beaching of marine mammals such as dolphin and whale species. These include: the animal is sick, navigation issues, panic/stress, difficulties in seeing the beach slope, adverse weather, the chasing of prey, etc.
