That's forced perspective.
Unfortunately.
He's bigger but he ain't giant.

booooo!
I was also profoundly disappointed.
me after Chinese buffet
A succulent Chinese buffet?
How dare you, sir!
Fisherman: (snikering*) yup, uhuh that’s exactly what he looked like maybe a little bigger.
Taxidermist: wait this isn’t another mermaid incident is it?
Fisherman: … WE WERE AT SEA A LONG TIME!!!
— unwrinkles your walrus —
If you play cards, right....
Is there a bad taxidermy community?
I have never subscribed to a community so quickly before this, and may never again.
Thank you!
Made it a few days ago. :)
Doing the Lord's work ❤️
The blue whale in the London Natural History Museum was disproportioned for similar reason.
Really? The one in the entrance hall or the one in the whale exhibit?
The big entrance hall one, IIRC. If you go to the upper galley that encircles it, there's a board there that explains. The hanging skeleton is wider, and the real animal more slim and long.
btw this is what a walrus normally looks like
I wish they could stuff me to get rid of my wrinkles. Win win win 😏
Just need to eat more.
Walrusaurus
And hell yeah it's in the Horniman museum
