Animals do the darndest things, including trying to heave themselves onto an anchored boat, much to the dismay of curious onlookers.
The internet found itself in stitches after a hilarious viral video of a ginormous walrus trying to “commandeer” a boat made the rounds on social media. The gentle giant showed the internet what happens when you exercise your core as the animal pulled itself up onto the empty boat, despite a few uncertain moments and incessant flapping.

“Maybe he just wanted to cool down,” a woman can be heard saying.
While it would’ve been incredible and equally alarming to watch a walrus ride off into the sunset on a boat, the big guy didn’t stay too long before attempting to jump back into the water. Disembarking wasn’t any easier, as he struggled for a good few seconds while nervous onlookers could be heard gasping in the background as the boat swayed back and forth.

The end result? Inspiration for the next time we think something is too challenging (try and try again, right), a happy walrus and humoured audience.
