have found something.
Uh, a clam, that's what they're looking for down here, clams.
Walruses eat clams too?
But how do they get past the shell to the yummy part inside?
- I say she'll crush the shell then eat it.
- She'll just swallow the thing whole.
- She'll use her tusks as a can opener.
- [Martin] That's it, walruses suck clams out of their shells with one giant slurp.
(slurping) - Sucking the clams out of there was my next guess.
- [Together] Sure Jimmy.
- Blobby can't find his own clams yet, but he's trying to get a taste from his moms.
Aww too cute.
- This is great, walruses feeding on clams has hardly ever been seen.
I gotta get this on film.
