"We are absolutely over the moon that he's not only still alive and well, but he is well on his way home to the Arctic," said Seal Rescue Ireland.It had come to the conclusion after comparing pictures with the British Divers Marine Life Rescue organization and other seal rescue centers in Britain and Europe, where Wally has previously been spotted.

"We compared the photo to confirmed photos of Wally, and were able to identify markings on his flippers that were an exact match," Seal Rescue Ireland executive director Melanie Croce told Reuters by e-mail.
