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.
