The Arctic Walrus washed ashore on rocks in Co Kerry last Sunday has reappeared in Wales. Seal Rescue Ireland and Welsh Marine Life Rescue (WMLR) both say they believe the walrus, now in South Pembrokeshire, is the same animal which made a brief appearance at Valentia Island last Sunday. The animal groups have pointed to the size and length of the tusks as evidence it is the same walrus. They have urged people to keep well clear of the animal and call relevant marine rescue bodies if there is a sighting. Seal Rescue Ireland also confirmed the latest sighting of the walrus, tweeting: “The tired, young Walrus last spotted on Valentia Island, Co. Kerry last Sunday has been spotted in Wales.
