In 1 minute, 17 seconds I am greatly enriched, touched,by this encounter. For a moment I forgot Hollywood, cartoons and endless scripted appeals for understanding of the human condition.
There is something about him, I noticed it in the first NYT article too. Mitik is way cuter than all the other walruses. He really is a special Ny'er. Hope he heals 100%.
Willy The Whale Shark I thought it was a dog that wandered into a toxic waste dump. Thank you friend. Without knowledgeable people like yourself I would be perpetually confused. I mean drooling out the side of my mouth and yelling HERE DOGGIE DOGGIE at the walruses at the zoo!
the last time i was in at the New York Aquarium there was just one Walrus all alone and kept doing the same behavior over and over again like he was going mad. i hope this little guy is housed with a friend.
They're quite good natured for such a large carnivore, huh? I guess it's because of the focus on mollusks and whatnot, they don't really have that hunter mentality. There's a video on here of a scientist just jumping in the water with half a dozen walruses and they're totally chill about it.
Forgive me if this sounds at all negative, but how can anyone not believe in evolution? We look so much like this cute walrus! Eyes, nose, face, all in the same places.
