It was the fact that you could calm a walrus down by pressing on his snout and blowing in his face. This specific fact sealed it, and I was a walrus-man from then on out.

Amazing….I so hope to one day meet a walrus and maybe even touch one…I wish they were safe enough to hug, too (but I know better, realistically speaking!).

The quote that made me feel good was: “Pinnipeds are thought to be descendants of bear-like terrestrial ancestors that, around 30 million years ago, turned amphibious to better exploit marine prey.”

So maybe they DO indeed have a common caniform ancestor! My two favorite animals linked together! 😀

So what about this article pushed you “over the edge”? Did you feel a stronger desire to meet a walrus in person?

(I apologize if I’m annoying you with all these comments….I’m going back in your archives and spotting too many awesome entries. 🙂 ).
