Walrus (Odobenus rosmarus)

[Polar]

Another attempt of a polar bear trying to hunt a walrus. Notice how the bear tries to top-control the waterbeast by forcing it down on the ground...another testament of a smaller walruses' strength around the 0:36 to 0:50 minute mark. Even smaller-sized polar bears of more than 600-pounds can easily break through a meter-thick ice layer to obtain prey, but the similar motion is simply ignored by the walrus as it easily waddles to the water surface. I am pretty sure even a bigger male polar bear would have extreme trouble controlling the walrus.
