Mega McCain is proof that the Vikings didn’t hunt all the Walruses to extinction.
Walrus is delicious, but its a pain to knead the dough to make the oversized buns for the walrus sandwiches.

Before the Norse settlers arrived, the main business in Iceland was carpentry. And surprisingly all the oysters in the area disappeared.
Perhaps the Vikings were partially responsible for eliminating the walrus from Iceland but I suspect the Medieval Warm Period is more responsible. The habitat became marginal and reduced the number of walrus so that Viking hunting could finish off the remaining ones.
Stop making sense. Do any of these tree-huggers ever consider why some 95% of species that ever existed are extinct?
Upon harvesting a walrus, Alaskan Indians (Aleuts, Eskimos) chow down on the undigested clams found in the animal’s stomach.
They won't be happy with someone bringing up the fact the earth has had cycles of warming without the "evil" internal combustion engine.
...more like Eric the Red salad. ;^).
Greenland too, it seems. But how do researchers differentiate between Greenland walrus and Iceland walrus, being the two islands are so close together?
Maybe they ask The Egg Man? ;^)
