Brief Summary:
The walrus is suffering increasing deaths as the sheath in coastal waters erodes. Marine biologists are therefore worrying more and more that they face a mounting threat from global warming.

Short Response:
There are definitely legitimate reasons to be concerned due to the fact that walruses are already being slaughtered, and they will likely become extinct if the erosion from global warming has this effect on them. As more time passes, it is likely that less and less will be alive which leads me to believe that this is caused by the negative effects humans have on the environment causing global warming, so we need to help save our environment.
