An Oosic, also spelled oosik, is the penis bone or baculum from a male walrus. Baculum occur in all members of the mink family such as mink, otter, weasel, and wolverine. Raccoons and all bear species in North America also have oosiks, along with sea lions.

Primates (humans) do not oosiks.

Walrus oosiks range in size from 10 to 24 inches. About one in 100 ossiks have been broken and healed. This is thought to be a painful occurrence which possibly happens when walrus climb up on ice flows.
