The Cellar - View Single Post - 7/21/2006: Pacific walrus, pigs beat the heat

I think the pigs are more refreshed. I think the chances that the walrus is still sweltering are pretty good, since their normal habitat includes ice floes to haul out on to rest. I seriously doubt that the water is refrigerated to that extent, or even close to it. I found articles that described walrus bearing waters at 44 deg F as "warm".
