Freya was a young female walrus who appeared along the coasts of several western European countries from October 2021 until her death on 14 August 2022. A rare sighting in the areas where she appeared, she attracted the attention of wildlife enthusiasts and the wider public. In the summer of 2022, after sunbathing on and sinking boats in the Oslofjord, she was shot after concerns about her and the public's safety. She weighed approximately 600 kilograms (1,300 lb). The decision to kill Freya was criticised by many wildlife experts.
