Contains an essay about walruses in history. The walrus Odobenus rosmarus divergens for those of you who think Latin is the dead language that will live forever is a large brown and leathery pinniped with two very large tusks that stick straight down from their mustached faces. It kind of looks like a large twoton seal that had a fight with a huge plastic fork... and lost. They start out in life the size of an overweight basset hound, and can grow to the size of a Chevy Impala. They come from the family pinniped, which is Latin for webfooted which could also describe a kid I knew at camp, but thats neither here nor there. This is not to be confused with pinnatailondadonkee, which is an Algonquin word meaning, stupid party game. They spend a lot of time on the shore, sunning themselves, burping and rolling about like Rush Limbaugh at a picnic buffet. But when they are in the water, they are graceful swimmers and fearsome opponents, although one has yet to appear on American Gladiators.
