A historic discovery on the coast of Ireland: a walrus sighted for the first time.

These marine mammals, like polar bears, live in arctic latitudes.

Therefore, residents and experts are extremely surprised by such a guest and wonder how he got there.

The walrus is supposed to have simply fallen asleep on an iceberg, which took him to Ireland.

Marine biologists say walruses often like to sleep on ice floes, which then take them to other places.

But this case is unique.

After all, the animal had to cross the Atlantic, overcoming more than 1,550 kilometers.
