Many of us have hardly travelled at all this year, but one wandering walrus appears to be exploring far and wide.
The animal, known as Wally, has been seen chilling on rocks off the coast of Ireland, and became something of a tourist attraction in Pembrokeshire.
Now photos have emerged appearing to show him basking on rocks in western France.
His latest adventure means he is now about 2,000 miles south of his home in the Arctic Circle.
A Twitter account for the seaside town of Les Sables-d Olonne in western France posted photos of the animal, believed to be Wally, sunbathing on rocks on 27 May.

Wales has said goodbye to Wally the walrus, but as he goes words of advice have been sent to his new Cornish home.
The Arctic Walrus has been spotted near Padstow, after the tusked-tourist spent weeks sunbathing in Pembrokeshire.
Animal lovers in Tenby had pleaded with people to stop getting dangerously close to Wally to pose for selfies.
But Wally s presence spent also paid dividends for local businesses, who have created a range of memorabilia to remember the marine mammal s visit.
