A walrus the size of a fridge was spotted ‘chilling’ on the Northumberland coast this morning – but is it Wally? The wandering walrus has ventured from the North Atlantic ocean to Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, France and the Isles of Scilly. He was last seen in Iceland in September when marine experts identified his scars on his front flippers. The 800kg titan has proven to be a bit of a vandal – causing thousands of pounds worth of damage to boats across the UK.

Meet Wally, a four and-a-half foot long emotional support alligator with razor-sharp teeth who likes to make new friends. Wally belongs to Joie Henney, host of Joie Henney’s Outdoors, a hunting and fishing show that ran from 1989 until 2000 on ESPN Outdoors, Fox and other outlets.

The Ann Arbor Area Transportation Authority has wrapped up an initial round of public meetings as part of a feasibility study of north-south commuter rail between Ann Arbor and Howell, a project often referred to as WALLY. But after meetings in Brighton and Ann Arbor, and another one Monday night in Howell, questions still remain about how the service would be funded. Michael Benham, strategic planner for the AAATA, acknowledged it's possible that communities along the line could be asked to pay for the service through taxes, as fares alone wouldn't be enough to cover the costs. He said that...

THE first wild beaver seen in 500 years in the UK was caught on film gnawing on a tree.

Muslim Waleed Aly, (w)academic and (token) ABC host, is angry that US soldiers are fighting in ways which makes it impossible for the Taliban to kill them: [Drones] so radically and fundamentally alter the nature of war that they risk making war seem far less grave, and far easier to wage. Each side confronts the other, with the risk of death and defeat. In short, war should come at a cost. That contract is shredded when you’re attacked by something that cannot itself be killed. It’s not remotely a fair fight. A word to Aly. There is no contract of...

Where’s Wally? The costume of the Red Sox mascot, Wally the Green Monster, has been stolen from Fenway, Boston police said this afternoon. Police said they believe the thief was wearing the costume. At about 2:22 p.m., a security officer at Fenway reported the theft. The thief was last seen at Boylston and Dartmouth streets. Wally was seen around 1:30 p.m. walking in Copley Square during the summer arts festival. It’s unclear how many Wally costumes there are.

Several weeks ago, my 14-year-old lab/chow mix, Wally, began making loud coughing/choking noises every half hour or so, for no readily apparent reason. The second day of his doing this, we took him in to the vet, and -- after x-rays and ultrasound -- he was diagnosed with DCM (dilated cardiomyopathy). What this means is that Wally's heart had enlarged to the point where it now presses (with increasing frequency) against his esophagus, making it steadily more difficult for him to breathe. (Hence, the bouts of choking/coughing). The vet prescribed various medicines for Wally -- Tussigon (cough suppressant); Furosemide (diuretic);...

From its public introduction last September straight through to now, the WHY 58x38 project from Wally has been garnering plenty of attention. The unusual wedge shape and elbowroom-inducing beam are far different than anything else on the water or on the drawing boards. But yesterday, Hermès surprised many by announcing that it’s leaving the joint venture.

Life can have its little irritations when you're cruising around the world on your £100million superyacht. For example, the endless vista of clear blue sea fails to provide much greenery to ease the eye - apart from the odd tropical island. For the owner of a forthcoming craft named WallyIsland, however, this will not be a problem. For he, or she, will have a personal ocean-going garden. The 325ft-long yacht is to feature a growing area with shrubbery and flower beds, kept healthy by an irrigation system. It will also have a tennis court, pool and five accommodation decks including...

One look at his face and you can tell Wally is more than ready to retire from his 15 minutes of fame. Now, thanks to the Hugo city attorney, Wally can go right ahead. After a whirlwind three weeks the city attorney has decided that it's just not possible to prosecute a farmer whose only fault is that her 900-pound jersey steer tends to moo. That farmer, Karyl Hylle, couldn't be happier. "I mean I definitely understand where people see the humor in this, but it is a zoned farm and I can have livestock and livestock do make noise,"...
