In a 2023 interview with The Pulse, Evgenia Arbugaeva related what it was like to be amidst thousands of walruses: "It was scary, and it was scary because they're not aggressive animals because especially when they're on the beach, they're in their unnatural environment. So, they're really vulnerable, and actually, they're so easily scared. So, any foreign smell or sound can scare them and kind of send this wave of panic in the whole haulout. So, we had to be really careful actually, not to scare them, not to use the stove, not to produce any smell, not to use a generator, which was quite challenging because we couldn't use batteries, or charge our batteries. But the sound was scary because you could hear the animals struggling, you could hear some voices, like very high-pitched voices of cubs that are looking for their mothers and being separated or being squashed by these bigger animals."
