The walrus that became a beloved interloper in Norway’s Oslo fjord was euthanized by authorities on Sunday.
Nicknamed Freya, the female walrus was often seen sun-bathing around harbors in the fjord, including on docked boats that were damaged by her 1,300-pound weight, according to multiple reports.
Onlookers have been flocking to get a close-up of the visitor ever since the animal first made headlines in mid-July.
After repeated warnings from the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries that such attention could cause the animal to be put down, the agency said in a news release that it decided to do so Sunday morning out of concern for human safety.
