<DIV>The ArtScroll book introduction has this paragraph, defining the Mishna's
"sea dog" (kelev hayam) as a walrus. (A recent speaker I heard said
the kelev hayam is a seal.) Nice vort about how the creature lives in the
sea but runs to dry land when threatened, where you run to defines you, so too
Jews, though estranged from G-d, run to Him when threatened -- something like
that. Is the walrus really a sea creature? It can sleep in
water, resting its head on an ice floe or even sleeping underwater (but must
surface every five minutes to breathe). It usually sleeps on
land. Does it have enemies in the water? Does it run
to land when chased? My husband says if it sleeps on land it is NOT a sea
creature and the nice vort loses its edge -- unless the kelev hayam is not a
walrus? Has anything been written somewhere about what creature the
kelev hayam might be?</DIV>
