Authorities in Norway have hatched a plan to prevent Freya the walrus from sinking more small boats as she sunbathes at a marina.
See video at the link.
The Sami in northern Norway used to hunt walrus.
"Waterproof clothes and bags were made of walrus guts, skins, seal fur and the skin of ringed seals. Walrus tusks and bones were used to make arrowheads, knife handles, glasses to protect the eyes from excess light, household utensils, amulets and jewellery."
The raft with walrus treats is probably easier than collecting shark pee.
Gardeners use blood meal in the garden because it smells like a predator to deer. So I guess you could smear the boats with blood to keep the Walrus away. But since Walrus unlike deer are predators, the blood would probably just attract both Walruses and Sharks.
Ya.
You all know me.
I kin get rid of dis valrus for you.
I vill need two tousand dollars and a box of dat mouse tape paper.
Oh, and tree tacos.
Walrus dig up clams with their tusks from the sea bottom and eat them by the ton. When the Alaskan Aleuts harvest one, the first thing they eat is the partially digested clams from the walrus stomach. Some pilot bread and it makes a great shore lunch I’m told.
Yep
What is Stacy Abrams doing in Norway?
Viking walrus, destroyer of boats. Filing the insurance claim and getting it approved is probably a chore.
I saw the video. Get that nuisance walrus into a net and tow it 500 miles away. If it returns, then kill it and sell the meat and blubber to interested parties.
I’ll bet this walrus is eating a lot of fish too, that the local yokels want to catch and eat.
In my younger days I had a ketch named Freya. Sigh.
Dat Yeu, Ole?
Lena says come home now.
No more snoose for you.
Solution is simple but enviros refuse to accept it.
Scares deer, but blood meal attracts racoons and skunks.
Really? I had a skunk underneath the house this winter. But I haven't put out blood meal in a few years. I ran the skunk off with Rodent Repellent ultrasonic frequencies on youtube cranked up to about 3 times the normal listening volume.
Hey that might be a strategy for Freya. String the dock with speakers and play repellent frequencies 24/7. We can't hear them. But a Walrus might.
Walrus steak. It must be good, the Eskimos have eaten for thousands of years.
Put the walrus in goal, save 15% on your car insurance.
