MYSTERY of 19th-Century DEAD WALRUS Found in London Graveyard
24th July 2013
The remains of the deceased, 12-foot-long pinniped – which may have weighed as much as two tons when alive – were discovered in a coffin interred in a St Pancras graveyard during excavations for a new railway terminal. This was actually some time ago, but today we learn that investigating archaeologists, having finally given up on unravelling the mystery intercontinental dead-walrus-by-gaslight affair, have placed the animal’s remains on display in a Hackney museum.
