'Get off!': 'Ginormous' overly-friendly walrus tries to get on tourist boat

A group of European tourists got more when they bargained for when they had a very close encounter with Wally, "the famous wandering Arctic walrus".

The ginormous mammal made a latest toothy appearance last week in the Isles of Scilly, an archipelago off the southwestern tip of Cornwall in the UK.

The animal was filmed trying to climb aboard a tourist boat near the Bay of Porthcressa.

"Get off," Rafe, the owner of the yacht is heard saying in the video, while tourists laugh.

"Watch my varnish."

Wally grunts a greeting before bobbing off.

Wally has become famous for his adventures.

It's thought he drifted from the Arctic after becoming trapped on an iceberg.

He was first sighted around a group of islands north of Scotland, and has been since spotted in Ireland, Spain, France and Greenland.
