A massive walrus was spotted off the coast of Western Ireland on Sunday – the first confirmed sighting of the canine in the country, according to a report.
The marine mammal was discovered on the rocks off Valentia Island in Kerry, witnesses told the Irish Independent.
“He broke out of the water on the rocks and gave us a little show,” Alan Houlihan told the newspaper.

“At first I thought it was a seal and then we saw the fangs,” said Houlihan, who was with his 5-year-old daughter when they saw the walrus.
Marine biologist Kevin Flannery, the director of a local aquarium, told the outlet that Sunday’s discovery was ‘the first confirmed sighting of a walrus’ in Ireland.
“It’s unbelievable … it’s one – time thing for me.”

Flannery theorizes that the Walrus accidentally traveled from the North Pole on an iceberg.

“He’s from the North Pole,” Flannery told the newspaper. “I would say what happened was that he fell asleep on an iceberg and ran away, and then he was too far away, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean or somewhere in the vicinity of Greenland.”
