A walrus named Freya rose to fame after clambering onto boats to sunbathe – sometimes even sinking them. However, she was euthanised owing public safety concerns, drawing widespread criticism across Norway and the rest of the world. A statue of the deceased walrus, made by artist Astri Tonoian, has been unveiled in the Norwegian capital.
