Explanation:
"Walrus" anaitwa "tembo-bahari" kwa Kiswahili. Tembo-bahari ni mamalia mkubwa wa bahari wa Aktiki. Ni mnyama mwenye pembe mbili na mapezi kama sili. "Tembo-bahari" ni neno jipya la lugha ya Kiswahili linalopatikana katika Kamusi ya Wanyama na Mimea ya Kigeni (toleo la tatu).
"Walrus" is called "tembo-bahari" in Swahili. Tembo-bahari is a large sea mammal of the Arctic. It's an animal with two tusks and flippers like a seal. Tembo-bahari is a new word of the Swahili language which is found in the Dicitonary of Foreign Animals and Plants (third edition).

Lakini watu wingi humtaja "walrus" "nguva" au "nguva aktiki", kwa sababu "nguva" ni "dugong" kwa Kiingereza. Na "tembo-bahari" aweza kuwa "elephant seal / sea elephant". Kwa kawaida, sema "nguva" au "nguva aktiki".
