An occasional male of the Pacific subspecies far exceeds normal dimensions. In 1909, a walrus hide weighing 500 kg (1,100 lb) was collected from an enormous bull in Franz Josef Land, while in August 1910, Jack Woodson shot a 4.9 m (16 ft) long walrus, harvesting its 450 kg (1,000 lb) hide.
- A device called a phone tapping detector could determine if your landline is being tapped or not. - This device can be connected to the telephone and will alert users with a blinking light if the phone is being tapped. If you believe that your phone is being tapped, then during a conversation listen carefully whether the volume of the phone is affected. - There could be short beeps too, which indicate that the phone is being tapped.
If you suspect that there might be a tap on your phone, walk over to a radio or television during your next phone call. Even if there is no audible interference on your phone itself, there is some chance that interference could occur when you stand next to another electronic device, causing static with that device. Any conversation you have within 20 feet (6 m) of the phone might be heard. 2  In the case of a landline, if you can hear a dial tone when your phone is on the hook, this is another sign of a tap. 3  Verify the presence of this noise with an external amplifier.
