I am the Walrus
There are 35,000 walruses stranded right now on the beaches of northwest Alaska. Walruses, which rely on sea ice to rest periodically, are having a harder and harder time finding it in the Bering Sea due to ice sheets melting from rising global temperatures.

They may very well become one of the wide array of species that we can expect to go extinct as climate disruption ravages our planet.
