A WALRUS SIZED FUR SEAL? Seeing how aggressive modern fur seals are, this would be a monster. A worthy opponent for megalodon.

Apparently, a genus full of walrus-sized fur seals.

It seems as if there are mega versions of everything. What next, a mega duck?

I don't kid with ducks.  I kid with goats, but not with ducks.

I once tried to have fun with a goat. That didn't end well.

Quite the hansome sea-catch there. Full thick mane and everything.

No sé: mis fuentes no dieron mucho la información sobre ella. Todos sé que es más grande que el lobo marino o el león de mar vivo más grande. También, recuerde por favor que soy incapaz de español de la lectura o de la escritura sin la ayuda de un programa de la traducción.
