Mind you, Mudcatters, this is not just any walrus,
according to Seal Rescue Ireland.
This is a walrus who has turned up in Ireland
before going to visit Iceland.

They say Wally is a youngster, as large as he is,
because his tusks are relatively short.

Here is an attempt at Wally's itinerary based on
news / media links during this year
(Wally got most of the attention during the past summer.
I just now heard of this fellow.
Mudcatters, have none of you noticed these carryings-on before I did?)
