Walrus use ice as a resting site when out to sea searching for prey and as a safe haven to raise pups, far away from the threat of polar bears and people. If the ice disappears, their safety is in danger. All animals that depend on sea ice find themselves in a bit of a "predicament." On a brighter note, one of my favorite tidbits of knowledge about walrus is they are nicknamed "tooth walkers" because when they "haul out" onto ice or land they use their teeth! Those are some strong pearly whites. |
