The video talks about Walruses in Alaska unable to get settledin water due to a lack of ice. There is little food and it's habitat is destroyed. 20,000 walruses line the shore and are actully running over eachother. They are said to be trampeling eachother to death. It is the 3rd lowest artic sea level in 30 years. Scientists say the lack of ice is of course due to global warming. Actions by the government have been to stop planes going across or near the area as well as keeping people away from area, as natives swim in water. It is the end to their summer now, but the cold weather is not coming back. The problem is that these animals are struggling due to what can be argued our (humans) actions.
