An enormous walrus is causing havoc in harbours by hauling her huge frame onto moored boats, amid calls to have her removed.
The 1,500lb mammal was first spotted in Norwegian town Kragerø before moving to an area near Oslo.
Residents were so charmed to have the giant visitor they rushed to take pictures and video and even gave her a name - Freya.
But after two months of frolicking in the waters, eating local fish and even reportedly killing a swan, town and city folk have decided it is time for Freya to be moved on.
Worse still, walrus expert Rune Aae told Norwegian News Agency NTB the animal is likely to be distressed.
She said: “She doesn’t get any peace. She needs to relax for up to 20 hour.
“When she is constantly stressed out by people and their presence, it is not good for her.”
One fed up Norwegian tweeted: “Big story in Norway this summer is a walrus we've named Freya has made it to our shores and is touring the country, laying around and sinking boats.”
During her summer visit Freya is said to have sank several vessels by hauling her huge frame aboard.
A fan of the visiting walrus said: “The biggest celebrity in Norway right now is Freya, a walrus on holiday along the coastline, chilling on peoples boats, getting into fights with swans and living her best life this summer.
“She is the biggest news around here right now & has now reached Oslo.”
Another added: “The walrus that has been touring the North Sea has now turned up in Oslo and seems very much at home in a marina.
“I only saw her at some distance but others clearly got much closer!”
Freya comes a year after Wally the Walrus delighted Brits as he sunned himself around the UK coastline.
The walrus had been on a European trip for months and was believed to be from Svalbard, north of Norway, and to have travelled alone about 4,000km between Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, France and the Isles of Scilly.
A customised pontoon with his own scent was built for him so he could have a safe space to rest before he can travel again.
Organisations and individuals, including British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR), Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust, Cornwall Seal Group Research Trust and the St Mary’s Harbour Team, monitored Wally's behaviour, implementing strategies to ensure his safety and limit damage to property .
