A large-tusked walrus was spotted on the shore of Valentia Island in Co. Kerry, Ireland—and was a rare sight for the region.

The death of the animal is the latest case in what officials have called an "Unusual Mortality Event" that has been ongoing among North Atlantic right whales since 2017.

The shark, known as Unama'ki, has traveled more than 12,500 miles since being tagged in September, 2019.

The shark is estimated to be around 50 years old and was tagged just off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada.

In the past 24 hours, the storm has increased its windspeed by about 55 miles per hour.

Seismic blasting produces one of the loudest sounds in the ocean, and can damage marine creatures' hearing and disrupt their feeding behaviors and communications.

Tropical Storm Teddy is "likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions," the National Hurricane Center warned.

"La Niña" is a periodic climate pattern characterized by cooling of the sea surface in some parts of the Pacific Ocean.

As of September 9, there have been 17 named storms in the Atlantic Basin.

The hurricane that's packing life-threatening rain and flooding now is projected to work its way north and east along the U.S. coast, approaching Virginia, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and Boston.

Although all storms are similar, their designations indicate the different wind speeds they have.

"2020 is set up to be a dangerous year for fires in the Amazon," NASA scientist Doug Morton said.

Trade winds blow dust from the Sahara westwards over the Atlantic every year.

The shark is named after the famed Italian explorer John Cabot.

Orcas were dubbed killer whales after ancient sightings of them ganging up against other (frequently larger) whale species. More recently, they have also been known to attack and kill great white sharks.
