Still Waters Posted September 25, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2019 In a kind of odd man-versus-nature moment, a Russian navy boat was attacked and sunk by a walrus during an expedition in the Arctic, the Barents Observer reported Monday. The Altai, a tugboat of the Russian navy's Northern Fleet, sailed to the Franz Josef Land archipelago in the Arctic carrying researchers from the Russian Geographical Society. "The polar latitudes are fraught with many dangers," the research group posted in a recent press update. One of those dangers is apparently walruses, a monstrously large animal that can weigh up to a few thousand pounds and can be quite ferocious when threatened. https://www.sciencealert.com/a-walrus-attacked-and-managed-to-sink-a-russian-navy-boat-in-the-arctic https://edition.cnn.com/2019/09/24/world/russian-navy-boat-walrus-attack-scli-intl/index.html 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
