Pretty scary story here about this massive crowd of walruses who have been forced to fight for space due to the melting and receding sea ice. They are saying the younger walruses are in danger of getting crushed by the larger ones and that this could propel the walrus in to the endangered species list. Video is in the link:

In an effort to protect Alaska's pacific walrus population, U.S fish and wildlife scientists are tracking their movements to see how they respond to receding sea ice.
The U.S Geological Survey recently released footage from an August walrus haul out in Point Lay, showing as many as 20,000 walruses moving across the beach.
