Walrus isn't really a land animal.
Andrew Prankevicius
he walrus (Odobenus rosmarus) is a large pinniped marine mammal. It's not terrestrial (i.e., on land)

I wouldn't call an animal that is very good at swimming and gets its food in the sea, but is able to climkb up on a rock to rest and doesn't wander far from tand he beach because they know they are safer in the water, a land animal.

JRW, it is by me. i think it spends most of the time on land and goes in the water as needed.

4/5 I missed the Walrus being the fourth heaviest. This was fun!

Since when has a walrus been considered a land animal?

I got them all...mostly because I'm Canadian and do know what a bear weighs and I didn't even consider the crocodile so it had to be the giraffe.

5/5. If you have seen a Giraffe you'd it is a lot bigger than a Walrus.
