Walrus

“

Come at me, you POS.

”

The walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) is one of the most feared pinnipeds in existence. Native to the Northern Hemisphere, an adult walrus boasts two deadly tusks that can be very long on some occasions, and is also very chonky, with adult Pacific walruses (O. r. divergens) weighing in at up to 2,000 kg (4,400 lbs). However, most Pacific walruses weigh 800-1,700 kg. Meanwhile, Atlantic walruses (O. r. rosmarus) average at 900 kg and have shorter tusks than their Pacific counterparts.

Your worst nightmare.

Can you see me?

I highly suggest you try not to go near a walrus, as they clearly outweigh humans, even if one has claimed to be (while also claiming to be Dr. Eggman). For this reason, walruses are among the hardest targets of the total seal extinction event.

There is a non-zero chance of a walrus appearing at your front door. Practically impossible, but not completely. The only guy to have ever experienced this was a Churchill, Manitoba resident who saw a walrus trying to get away from a bloodthirsty polar bear.
