A walrus that had become a popular attraction in the Oslo Fjord has been put down out of concern for the safety of the public, Norwegian officials say.
The walrus, nicknamed Freya, rose to fame after clambering on to boats to sunbathe – sometimes sinking them.
People refused warnings not to get too close to the 1,300lb (600kg) animal, putting her and themselves at risk.
On one occasion, police blocked off a bathing area after the walrus chased a woman into the water, local media say.
Last week, Norway’s fisheries ministry issued a photograph of a large group of people, including children, standing within touching distance of the animal.
