Scarborough: Rare walrus sighting draws huge crowds to harbour- PublishedAn Arctic walrus has been causing an enormous stir in Scarborough after it was discovered in the town's harbour.The giant mammal has drawn huge crowds to the seaside resort since being spotted on New Year's Eve, in what is thought to be the first sighting of a walrus in Yorkshire.Scarborough's new year fireworks display was cancelled out of concern for Thor.The Sea Life Scarborough aquarium said its animal care team is monitoring the walrus's situation, along with the RSPCA and British Divers Marine Life Rescue.He said: "We understand it's exciting and unusual to have the walrus take up a temporary residence, however, it's in his best interests to be left alone as much as possible, so we're asking people to remember he is a wild animal and avoid the temptation to get near to him and disturb him.""
