A 1918 memoir notes a case in Spitzbergen where walruses capsized a boat, killing all aboard.
[3] In 2019 a walrus capsized a Russian Navy scientific vessel that was approaching an arctic shoreline.
[1] In 2016 at the Xixiakou Wildlife Park in Rongcheng city, a tourist named Jia Lijun and a zoo keeper were both killed after being pulled and held under water by a walrus.
Jia Lijun is said to have been taking "selfies" with the walrus when he was grabbed from behind and pulled into the nearby water.
The zoo keeper, who had been working with the walrus for over 10 years, jumped into the water to try and save Jia but was subsequently grabbed and drowned as well.
