JAKARTA - A vortex was seen in the northern French Dieppe port of Normandy, thousands of kilometers from its natural habitat around the Arctic Circle or the Arctic.

The marine mammals commonly found in Greenland, Russia, or Alaska, are protected species that eat invertebrates such as molluska, shrimp, crabs and small fish.

Local authorities closed the area over the weekend to protect gaming animals, which are resting on the coast, according to an image tweeted by local authorities, although it was observed diving on Saturday and has not been seen again.

"Willus is afraid [of humans] but still wild animals," the authorities warned, saying the wildlife group had been alerted, and thewalrusis believed to be in good health, reported Euronews November 21.

Walrus is the latest in a series of cold Arctic marine animals lost in French waters this year. Earlier, a whale died on the Seine River in August, months after a seriously ill killer whale died in the same river.

Separately, a stockpile later namedANcheme, was also targeted to Norway last Summer. He caused a stir with his habit of climbing boats and small canoes anchored at the port along the coast.

Walrus comes from the Arctic circle. However, men eventually roamed the bay of Frognerkilen Oslo, which was previously seen in Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and Scotland. There were also separate sightings of other walruses in Sweden and Finland during the summer.

The presence of young female walrus in Norway, weighing 700 kilograms, came to the attention of some, who said she damaged the boat.

Authorities had to "get rid of" the animal in August after officials said it was endangering people's lives and itself in trouble.

Criticism of the decision said it was too hasty, although authorities claim it was the only 'worthy' option.
