Hvalros var strandet ved Fjand

En hvalros lå med blødende sår på stranden ved Fjand, og så ud til at sidde fast. Men fredag aften forsvandt den.

Sommerhusgæster gjorde fredag morgen et usædvanligt fund. De fandt nemlig en hvalros liggende ved Fjand Strand.

I første omgang så det ud til, at hvalrossen skulle skydes, da den havde sår. Men så blev det besluttet, at hvalrossen skulle have en chance.

Det er første gang siden 1999, at en hvalros er skyllet ind på en dansk strand.

Fredag aften var hvalrossen dog pludselig væk igen. Måske er den kommet til kræfter, og er svømmet til nordligere himmelstrøg, hvor den retteligt hører hjemme.

The walrus is a large flippered marine mammal with a discontinuous circumpolar distribution in the Arctic Ocean and sub-Arctic seas of the Northern Hemisphere. The walrus is the only living species in the Odobenidae family and Odobenus genus. It is subdivided into three subspecies, the Atlantic Walrus found in the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Walrus found in the Pacific Ocean, and O. rosmarus laptevi, found in the Laptev Sea. The walrus is immediately recognized by its prominent tusks, whiskers and great bulk. Adult Pacific males can weigh up to 2,000 kilograms and, among pinnipeds, are exceeded in size only by the two species of elephant seals. It resides primarily in shallow oceanic shelf habitat, spending a significant proportion of its life on sea ice in pursuit of its preferred diet of benthic bivalve mollusks. It is a relatively long-lived, social animal and is considered a keystone species in Arctic marine ecosystems.
