Sink a few boats off the coast of Ireland and get a nice rubdown with some towels before someone builds you a custom sea couch. I bet the outcome is different if the walrus in Alaska try the same maneuver.

Maybe it just really likes sinking boats, then it’ll go chill on the couch for awhile. Maybe ride a jetski in the afternoon. You know, walrus stuff.

Excuse me, hope you don’t mind, but can you provide evidence that that’s a seal?

Very true, aside from the tusks, it could be a sea lion.
Also: “No -o-o-o! They be stealing my floaties! My bukkit’s already gone!”

If walruses are anything like cats, he’ll ignore the couch and keep on climbing on boats. Or possibly occupying a big cardboard box on the beach.

I choose my couch based on wet towels that smell familiar also 
Fun fact walrus hides are the primo material for a traditional “skin on from frame” boat. Kayak Umiak and such. Now days we use canvas and tar, or modern synthetic fibers.

He seems like a nice enough fellow. Maybe they should build him a daybed or a nice recliner.

Wallop Wally the wayward walrus in his walnuts when not welcome.
