Pacific Walrus Disappearing Ice

FILE - In this July 17, 2012, file photo, adult female Pacific walruses rest on an ice flow with young walruses in the Eastern Chukchi Sea, Alaska. A lawsuit making its way through federal court in Alaska will decide whether Pacific walruses should be listed as a threatened species, giving them additional protections. Walruses use sea ice for giving birth, nursing and resting between dives for food but the amount of ice over several decades has steadily declined due to climate warming. (S.A.
