A young male walrus known as Magnus is spotted again after leaving Scotland and crossing the North Sea to Norway. Sources report that Magnus first emerged as he hauled his estimated 2.5-metre body out of the sea onto Stronsay pier in Orkney on 16 April and was later seen along Scotland’s north-east coast, attracting public attention. The BBC and The Guardian say he is now recorded in Norway, indicating he swam roughly 400 miles since being first sighted. Together, the reports describe a period of roaming that drew crowds and built local recognition for the animal, with the latest sighting marking the end of his time in Scotland and a continuation of his travels. The accounts do not describe any tagging or controlled relocation, focusing instead on the sequence of public sightings across both countries’ waters. The exact location in Norway and details of the timing of the most recent observation are not fully specified across the provided summaries.
