iStock/Thinkstock(JUNEAU, Alaska) — Thousands of walruses washed along the beach of an Alaskan eskimo village in early September, gathering as the result of increasing ocean temperatures.
An estimated 35,000 of the sea mammals massed on the shores in early September. Usually, the animals will position themselves on ice, but climate change and warmer conditions have forced the walruses to swim to the coasts, according to experts.
