A famous walrus who loves to board harbour boats has been struggling to cope in the heatwave, according to a conservation charity.
Locals on the Isles of Scilly have been warned to stay away from Wally the walrus as high temperatures are 'challenging him'.
The Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust warned: 'This heat is not something he is adapted for so it's more important now more than ever to give him rest and space'.

The walrus has been in the Isles of Scilly since June 17 and has proved a popular hit with tourists and locals.
He is believed to be from Svalbard, north of Norway, and to have travelled alone about 4,000km between Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, France and now the Isles of Scilly.
A customised pontoon with his own scent has been built for him so he can have a safe space to rest before he can travel
