30 Sep 21 - 09:20 PM (#4121487) Subject: RE: Song Challenge: Wally, the Walrus From: keberoxu In the article in this link, Wally the Walrus had commandeered a lifeboat station slip. The only way to get Wally to budge was to blow a horn at him. BBC News and RNLI lifeboat crew |
03 Oct 21 - 08:00 PM (#4121776) Subject: RE: Song Challenge: Wally, the Walrus From: GUEST,keberoxu Six home videos now exist -- all in an article linked in this post -- which show what Wally did to get so notorious in the news: he kept climbing out of shallow water onto tethered boats, some of which he sank with his 800Kg weight. This link uses Google Translate and so the English text is very odd in certain places |

24 Oct 21 - 02:40 PM (#4124066) Subject: RE: Song Challenge: Wally, the Walrus From: Georgiansilver I'm a perfect walrus in every way, Except for my smaller tusks. Brought up only on mothers milk, Not baby foods or rusks. I have several walrus aunties, One of them called Molly. That's a lovely name for a girl, But why do they call me 'Wally'? I've travelled over many miles, I've seen a lot of places. A lot of silly people too, (Some with stupid faces). They follow my wher'ere I go, I think they're rather rude. One of these days they'll kill me, And all I'll be is food. |

15 Aug 22 - 10:49 AM (#4150321) Subject: RE: Song Challenge: Wally, the Walrus From: keberoxu Well, no one knows the ultimate fate of Wally who made himself known in Eire and the U.K. However Freya, the female walrus who fascinated Oslo, Norway, has been euthanized for her own protection -- the humans would not leave her in peace, so the authorities had her put down. Compassionate and sad at the same time. |
