Walrus draws crowd with rare visit to Newfoundland harbor

May 2 (UPI) -- A woman visiting Newfoundland's Northern Peninsula snapped photos of a rare guest in the water: a walrus.

Ruby Taylor Peyton posted photos to Facebook showing the walrus that drew a crowd of onlookers Monday when it paid a visit to White Cape Harbor in Griquet.

"Every now and then he'd poke up and just lie back down again," Taylor Peyton told CBC News.

She said the walrus was the first she has ever seen in the area, although whales and seals frequently visit the same waters.

"Pretty cool," she said. "There was a crowd there, they were talking that years ago there was one in, but it was a long time ago."
