Definition
A morse is a large marine mammal with flippers and long tusks, commonly known as a walrus. It lives in Arctic regions and is recognized by its prominent whiskers and blubbery body.
Usage & Nuances
Rarely used in modern English—'walrus' is the standard term. The word 'morse' appears in scientific or old texts, but almost never in conversation. Do not confuse with 'Morse code', which is unrelated.
