Still Waters Posted September 20, 2021 #26 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Wally the wandering walrus is spotted in Iceland A walrus previously spotted in Ireland, France, Spain and the UK has turned up in Iceland, marine experts have said. The 800kg (125st) Arctic walrus, known as Wally, had not been seen for more than three weeks, with spotters saying they were "starting to lose hope" of ever seeing him again. However, Seal Rescue Ireland said he had been seen in Iceland on Sunday after 22 days of no sightings. He was identified from scars on both his front flippers, the group said. The wandering walrus was thought to have travelled 4,000km (2,485 miles) before reaching Ireland, with the new sighting in Iceland meaning he had swum more than 900km (560 miles) from his last known location in Cork. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-58632372 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted September 20, 2021 #27 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) It sounds like Wally is heading home now. Safe journey Wally! It's a trip he is able to make so maybe sometime in the future he'll visit again. Edited September 20, 2021 by susieice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted November 15, 2021 #28 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Maybe Wally didn't go home after all! Or he told his friends and they're checking out Europe too! https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-tyne-59282114 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
