Guest Blogger September 13, 2010
Alaska Dispatch in Anchorage reported on September 10 that USGS researchers were estimating that "anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000" walruses now have hauled out along Alaska's Chukchi coastline. "Walruses have been known to haul out onto land in large numbers in Russia," the article says, "but never on the Alaska side of their migratory corridor in the tens of thousands, as is being witnessed this year."
