About Seals & Walruses
A walrus bull can weigh over a ton, and he'll haul out on the ice beside hundreds of others, piled up like sacks of flour and grumbling the whole time. Seals work the same cold water more quietly, slipping off the floe to hunt and coming back to nurse a pup. On a good day the noise carries for a mile, and the smell carries farther.
