This walrus is quite the traveller.

He was first spotted in Ireland in March, and started making a nuisance of himself in Tenby, Wales, in April- the local lifeboat crew had to use an air horn to get him to move off their slipway so they could launch the lifeboat:

He’s then been seen in Cornwall, France (where he was hit by a boat but suffered no lasting ill effects) and Spain, and is now back in Ireland.

(And yes, conservation groups have confirmed that it is the same walrus)

I appreciate the euphemism of “used towels to gather the animal’s scent”

I like the way that the Walrus Pirate uses its tusks to get over the gunwales.
