OMG, That's A Lot of Walruses!
The Pacific walrus has a problem. They can't find sea ice to rest on in the Arctic waters they call home, so they are having to come ashore in Alaska. And they are doing it in record numbers. Just recently a group of approximately 35,000 walruses were photographed. Around 50 carcasses were left behind of individuals that died in the coastal stampede.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Pacific walrus that can't find sea ice for resting in Arctic waters are coming ashore in record numbers on a beach in northwest Alaska.
An estimated 35,000 walrus were photographed Saturday about 5 miles north of Point Lay, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Point Lay is an Inupiat Eskimo village 300 miles southwest of Barrow and 700 miles northwest of Anchorage.
The enormous gathering was spotted during NOAA's annual arctic marine mammal aerial survey, spokeswoman Julie Speegle said by email. The survey is conducted with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, the agency that oversees offshore lease sales.
Andrea Medeiros, spokeswoman for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said walrus were first spotted Sept. 13 and have been moving on and off shore. Observers last week saw about 50 carcasses on the beach from animals that may have been killed in a stampede, and the agency was assembly a necropsy team to determine their cause of death.

ReplyDeleteAt first glance I thought the above photo was Rick Dyerias latest bigfoot expedition with his new moronic followers.
ReplyDeleteThat is until I saw the photo above that, and realized it was just a Robert Lindsey selfie.

DeleteThat is a herd of arctic bigfeet. They travel en masse all the time. The stench is terrific.

ReplyDeleteThe Inuit people find the term Eskimo to be offensive, also no where near 35,000, maybe 3,500

It's too early for ice. Give it another month and whales will be trapped by surrounding ice, so they have to send icebreakers to free them.
