An Arctic walrus named Thor has been pictured in a harbour - marking the first time in living memory his species has visited the region.<br /><br />The marine mammal was photographed by several people at Scarborough Harbour in Yorkshire on December 30.<br /><br />It's believed that the young walrus could have come from as far as Canada, and is likely to be ‘wandering’ before making his way back to his Arctic habitat.<br /><br />The animal has been identified as Thor, an adolescent male that was seen on beaches in Hampshire earlier this month - and was also spotted in Holland and France.<br /><br />Walruses are extremely rare in the UK, though two others – Wally and Freya – have been recorded off British shores in the last two years.
