Two Alaskans pleaded guilty on Friday to illegally buying and selling hundreds of pounds of walrus tusks in what prosecutors described as Alaska's biggest wildlife-trafficking case in nearly 20 years.
The pair, along with a third defendant scheduled to plead guilty next week, were arrested in April on charges of trading cash, guns, cigarettes and at least one snowmobile for around 1,000 pounds
