I’ll look for some more info and maybe pictures related to this story. Hopefully, the coming winter will rebuild some of the ice, but it looks like bleak times for our friend the Pacific Walrus….

It really depresses me, and shames me when I realize that I am causing it through use of my car….I really should save up for a hybrid, though I feel I’m just forestalling the inevitable. *cries*
On a lighter note, however, I wanted to comment on how much I love this site and your admiration for walruses. I truly bow to you and thank you for all your interesting posts and entries!
Allow me to introduce myself as a sort of “walrus” myself…and here is a video of myself in action! 😀

And here’s one of me at a drum circle in North Carolina. 😀

I know I am being very egocentric right now…but I just couldn’t resist introducing myself, what with all the wonderful walrus material here that I so enjoy!!! There are more videos of me on YouTube in various places if you are interested. E-mail me if you wish to know or talk more! I’ve gained a deeper appreciation for the walrus through entertaining others!
Thanks again for an awesome site!!! 🙂 *gives big flipper hugs* 😀
THE Royce Cobblepot?! Man, you’re a celebrity! You’ll never believe this, but I have a post about you in my drafts folder right now, once I finish it up it’s going live next week – I was going to pull some quotes from the old description of your costume from Livejournal. Yeah, I’ve been aware of you for some time. Thanks for the comment.
WOW, I can’t believe I’m that popular!!! *blushes deeply* I’m really honored to make your acquaintance, and am glad to have found your site!
I’m really excited to see the post, but I’m sorry to say that my livejournal is gone…I deleted it a while back, so I’m not sure if you already saved the quotes, or have yet to get them.
HOWEVER, I am MORE than willing to answer any questions you might have or provide pics/video for whatever you need. I also hope to take some videos of myself in the future doing interesting things in the walrus suit, from dancing to reviewing classic movies (assuming I figure out how to work my software, etc.).
My most extensive page is on FurAffinity at http://www.furaffinity.net/user/furio. Again, if you need anything else, please don’t hesitate to e-mail me and ask. 🙂 Big flipper hugs, and thanks again!!!! 😀
Walruses rock!!! =|:-3=
