Oslo Unveils Life-Size Bronze Sculpture of Beloved Walrus Freya to Honor Her Memory

Residents of Oslo, Norway, were delighted last year when a walrus named Freya was spotted frolicking and basking in a local fjord. The 600-kilogram mammal quickly became a popular attraction, but Norwegian authorities eventually made the decision to euthanize Freya, causing public outrage.

In honor of the beloved walrus, a life-size bronze sculpture of Freya was unveiled on Saturday at the Oslo marina, located near the fjord where Freya was seen. The sculpture was created by Norwegian artist Astri Tonoian.

The unveiling of the sculpture was attended by many of Freya’s admirers, who were saddened by her untimely death. Many of them expressed their hope that the sculpture would serve as a reminder of the importance of respecting wildlife and following the recommendations of authorities.

The sculpture of Freya has become a popular attraction in Oslo, and has been visited by many people who want to pay their respects to the beloved walrus. It is a fitting tribute to Freya and a reminder of the importance of protecting wildlife.
