Town Cancels Fireworks for Walrus Thor

A town in England just canceled their entire New Year's fireworks display for one walrus named

Thor. The massive marine mammal showed up right before the holiday and needed

rest before his long migration journey. Local officials decided the loud explosions would

stress him out and potentially disrupt his critical preparation time. So instead of celebrating

with pyrotechnics, the whole community chose to protect their unexpected visitor.

Thor got his peaceful sleep, and the town proved sometimes the best parties are the

ones we don't throw. Conservation won over celebration, and honestly, that's pretty incredible.
