A second walrus has been spotted off the coast of Britain just a month after Wally returned to the Artic.
The huge mammal was seen sleeping off the shore at Seahouses village in Northumberland this morning.
It is unclear how the creature ended up in the North East as they usually reside hundreds of miles away towards the Arctic Sea.

It comes just a month after the world's most famous walrus was spotted alive and well in Iceland, almost a month since he was last seen off Ireland's southwesterly coast.
The wandering walrus captured the imagination of wildlife lovers around the world with his European travels this summer, which included stops in France, Spain and the Isles of Scilly.
The four-year-old whiskery gentleman started out on his tour in March, and when he fancied a pit-stop, he'd haul his 800kg bulk onto the nearest motorboat and take a nap - sometimes for several days.
But there were concerns Wally had died after 22 days without any confirmed sightings of the marine mammal and a carcass washed up on the North Devon coast, after scientists predicted he was on route to his Arctic homeland, which is likely to be Greenland or Norway.
It is not known if this latest migrant is the same one, but people have been urged to keep their distance.
