News: "Walrus basks in Orkney attention"

A walrus has been found in Orkney, Scotland. It's said it's an extremely rare event, because it has been spotted so far south of the North Pole and Artctic Ocean. Fortunately, it appeared to be in good health and happy to be the centre of attention. It was found by chance on Sunday by Mark Warren, an assistant warden at a bird observatory, who was in search of birds.

This new doesn't involve me directly, but is nice to hear things like this (to found an animal and "save it"). Although it's a weird thing to happen, this makes me think about something that we learnt on biology class, named "Founder effect" (few individuals arrive to a new place and colonize it, and, adapting to the new environment, they develope into new species).

New words:

Bask: Disfrutar, "viure a tope"
Walrus: Lleó marí
Warden: Guarda forestal
Spotted: Localitzat
