Walrus' Climbs 260 foot rocky slope, and just walked over the edge, The Disturbing Walrus Scene in this Our Planet.

In the autumn of 2017, about 250 walruses in Russia, having climbed up to rocky slopes overlooking a beach, just walked over the edge.

As the walruses spread across the beach, some start heading up a shallow slope, which curves into a steeper escarpment, which eventually culminates in 260-feet cliffs. It’s not an easy climb, but Kochnev suspects that once one group leads the way, the rest follow their scent. And since this area gets very little rain, odor trails from previous years might lead new arrivals up a dangerous path. “At least up here, there’s space to rest,” Attenborough intones. “A walrus’s eyesight out of water is poor, but they can sense the others down below. As they get hungry, they need to return to the sea. In their desperation to do so, hundreds fall from heights they should never have scaled.”
