Walrus Wanders Into Harbor, Masturbates, Falls Asleep, Ruins New Year’s Fireworks

New Year’s fireworks celebrations were called off in a seaside Yorkshire town in the United Kingdom Saturday after a walrus decided to take a breather on the harbor’s slipway.

The walrus, nicknamed “Thor” wandered into the Scarborough harbor on Friday afternoon seeking what wildlife experts believe was a rest on the mammal’s journey north, Sky News reported. As Thor continued to stay put, the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) advised city officials to cancel the festivities over fear that the loud sounds and bright lights could “cause distress to the mammal,” the outlet continued.

“We welcome the decision to call off the fireworks but understand that some people will be disappointed the display isn’t going ahead,”Chris Cook, from the BDMLR stated per BBC News. “It is extremely rare that an Arctic walrus should come ashore on the Yorkshire coast. The creature needs time to rest and recuperate before it continues its journey.”

That’s not all the walrus has been doing during his stay in Yorkshire.

I hope next time "Thor" finds himself a nice private place. Perhaps some fellow Gaffers from across the pond can be a part of this magical though short moment

This story makes me bizarrely proud to be British.

Fireworks for New Year?

Nah. The walrus is having a wank. Best not.
Definitely for the best, imagine a family going down to the beach. The kids come up and say they don't need any water to build a sandcastle, we found lots of moist sand.
