The Walrus is making the news big time! I was pretty sure it was going to starve as it is so far from its natural environment and feeding grounds. Like most of us, my knowledge of Walrus's is pretty sketchy. I knew they eat "Clams" but clams is just a default for several species of bivalve mollusk and I have not been able to find out which.
Anyway, thanks to Joseph, we now have evidence of them eating Razor Clams. When I spoke to him this afternoon he reckoned it was using known Razor clam beds and seemed to be getting plenty. I have had permission from Joseph to use this image which clearly shows him with a Razor Clam in his mouth. What happens next is anyone's guess, but hopefully it will hang around here in Pembrokeshire!
