The Horniman Natural History Gallery features this stunning walrus.
It was transported to England, purchased in 1886. There, the taxidermists, having never seen one in the wild, stuffed it until the wrinkles smoothed out.
This is a fully inflated walrus, my friends.
MAXIMUM WALRUS.

All hail our regal guardian of the South Circular.
This was just a regular paranormal romance in which one character is a were-walrus. You know, normal romance.

Walruscus Inflaticus Maximillius?
The original balloon animal?
Thank you for the heads up.
