A walrus surprised residents of the coastal town of Scarborough, England by choosing its place to rest on December 30. To protect the animal, the city has canceled the New Year’s Eve fireworks. What they didn’t expect was that the marine mammal would seize the moment to “relieve” sexually.
The walrus, called Thor by the locals, arrived in the city on December 30th. Shortly thereafter, a lanyard was attached to protect her. Local wildlife experts urged people not to disturb the animal and said it appears to be “taking a break” at Scarborough and would move on in a few days once rested enough to continue its journey north.
Walruses are typically found in the icecovered waters off the coasts of Canada, Greenland, Norway, and Russia. Their growing presence in Europe could be the result of climate change, which has destroyed the sea ice they depend on for food and reproduction.
A spokesman for Scarborough Borough Council told The Guardian that the decision to cancel the fireworks was to protect the animal.
“We have made the decision to cancel the New Year’s Eve fireworks display on the advice of British Divers Marine Life Rescue in light of the arrival of the walrus Thor in port. There are concerns that the display could cause distress to the mammal,” he explained.
Council President Steve Siddons said the health of marine mammals was a top priority. “We are really disappointed that we canceled the fireworks, but the welfare of the walrus must come first.”
However, Thor starred in a scene that drew even more attention than his own presence. The walrus, after a nice nap, did not seem to mind the curious looks of the residents and simply began to masturbate.

Thor’s behavior may seem strange even to us humans, but it is common in many wild species. Some walruses have even been observed performing oral sex on themselves.
