No sign of Arctic walrus after Valentia Island sighting

Experts believe the two-metre arctic animal is foraging for food somewhere in the harbour.
It s thought the walrus came across the North Atlantic from Greenland and it’s hoped, once recovered, it will return.
National Parks and Wildlife Service ranger and marine biologist William Hunt said the animal is badly in need of food and rest after such a long crossing. He looked exhausted and fairly emaciated. Hopefully he is out looking for food, foraging for invertebrates and shellfish. We have plenty scallop here in the harbour. But we don’t know what condition it s in or if it’s capable of doing that. It’s also a possibility that it may have left the harbour and moved along the coast.
