This walrus has been found at various locations along the coast of England and Ireland in recent months.
It subsequently received the name Wally and people came to know its history.
In the winter he fell asleep on an iceberg near his native Greenland and then somehow sailed south.
Although the local area is not the same as the one in which Wally grew up, the walrus is doing his best to enjoy his unplanned trip.
He has been seen and photographed off the coast several times and was spotted a few weeks ago by an employee of the Clonakilty distillery in Ireland.
The walrus lay in a boat in the water near the shore.
The employees were surprised and happy to see their unusual guest.
Then, this week, Wally was found again in the boat. This time it was off the town of Croohaven, Ireland.
The walrus decided to relax again and climbed into someone else’s boat to sleep.
Apparently, the boat is now considered a resting place for the walrus.
Wally continues to enjoy his adventure.
However, local residents are already beginning to worry that a 1,700-pound walrus can easily destroy someone’s boat.
With that in mind, the residents of St. Mary’s have bought him a pontoon that he can use in place of a boat. Wally gave it a try, but it didn’t last long.
Walruses are known to sometimes travel long distances, and experts are concerned that the appearance of walruses may be due to climate change.
According to them, the Arctic may be warming much faster than we expect.
“As we get closer to Europe, we are seeing a lot of Arctic species emerging, and this is worrying. It really raises a lot of questions about climate change,” says Emmer Keavney, founder of ORCA, the Ocean Research Council of Ireland.
