Walrus Oosiks

Assorted Walrus Oosiks

We usually have a number of walrus oosiks or baculum in stock. The price varies with size, weight, and condition. An oosik is the bone that most mammals have in order to provide stiffening.

An average walrus oosik measures around 50 cm or 19.5" long measured straight tip to tip. Many oosiks are yellow and greasy (they are not as white as the ones shown in the photo above). They can be cleaned, degreased, and bleached to make them look more white.

Walrus are legally hunted for food by the Inuit in northern Canada. The walrus hunt also offers a strong bonding experience for members of the community. Bacula that are not used in the local communities for arts and crafts are often available for sale in Canada or for export with the proper permits to most countries other than the United States. There is no commercial hunting of walrus. We buy our oosiks from Arctic Canada.

Please see more information on how to order these items, shipping, and import/export controls on the Ordering page.
