Walrus On A Sandy Beach

Walrus hauled out on a sandy beach on the coast of Svalbard.

Walrus really do stink, you can smell them before you get anywhere near them. When they are not hoovering up clams, they are sleeping or fighting each other. Their constant flatulence makes them one of the smelliest animals I have photographed. Eat, sleep, fart, repeat! You do have to love Walrus.
