WALRUS
The Torah prohibits a king from having an excessive number of horses. It probably does not include the
SUS-YAM a.k.a. NIVTAN
Nor does it include the seahorse in the prohibition. Seahorse in Hebrew is SUSON HAYAM, SUSON
being a pony. Despite the Hebrew names, walruses and seahorses are not related.
