A few nice animal movie images I found:
Ivory Walruses

Color of the Week: Ivory
February 5, 2008
These walruses were carved by Randall Jones (we call him Bidoo). He is one of my very favorite carvers in Shishmaref. I bought these two walruses (walri?) last fall.
One of the things I love the best about Bidoo's carvings is the amazing detail. His pieces are always very exact.
I've built up quite an ivory collection since living in Shishmaref. I didn't buy much our first year because I was uncomfortable knowing what was a quality piece and a fair price. Now that I've been around a little longer I know what to look for.
Steve always grumbles when I put down a good chunk of change for a piece of ivory. He always translates the price into the number of games or movies he could have bought. I promised him that the ivory will maintain its value for a long time. Games and movies only depreciate (unless they're in mint condition, which ours are NOT). :)
"Matrix" birds

Will said these birds reminded him of the twins from the Matrix movies
