Well, they do better than the walruses!


That's referring to the video in the recent "Our Planet" series, where walruses end up lumbering from a rocky beach up slopes. Then, being somewhat poor sighted and not being used to cliffs or backing down from anything they can't handle, try to take the shortest way down -- and fall off the cliffs.

The biologist J. B. S. Haldane once wrote a famous essay in which he described what large falls do to progressively larger animals. A mouse “gets a slight shock and walks away,” he wrote. “A rat is killed, a man is broken, a horse splashes.”

Good old square-cube laws for surface area and mass...

Turns out that the idiots there filming, weeping for the walruses, climate change and whatever horseshit, were the actual cause behind the walruses being alarmed stampeding and hammerfucking themselves off the cliffs.

Usually happens when you roll up on a herd of wild animals with boats and cameras crying and all that shit
