That’s Nikolai the Walrus, who apparently likes to play peekaboo with his zookeeper Bert van Santen, who has a surprise for Nikolai for the World’s Animal Day. (Surprise, surprise, it’s fish!)

Corrected Link Who knows that the link to this is – it changes by the hour!

Update 10/23/06: Turns out that the walrus’ name is Natasja. There is a walrus named Nicolai, but he can’t sit up! Thanks Séverine Hendriks!

    It's like peekaboo! Everytime you click on the link, it changes!

    Oh well, let's label that a feature, not a bug.

    Now it's http://www.20minutos.es/galeria/1589/0/58/ :)
    I think, you can also give a direct link to picture (http://www.20minutos.es/data/img/2006/10/04/516437.jpg) but the story will be lost then..

    Hi there people!

    I'm one of the collegues of Bert van Santen and I'm sure to say, that the walrus' name is Natasja. We also have a walrus Nicolai, but Nicolai can't sit up!

    Greetings...

    What zoo/habitat does Natasja reside?

    Thanks

    I am not really sure, but I think that she lives in The Netherlands, in Dolfinarium Harderwijk. This is a kind of zoo a little like sea life. http://www.dolfinariumharderwijk.nl should be the link.
