Stena, also known as the walrus of Hamina, was the nickname of a female walrus who, in July 2022, died while being transported in Finland.^[1][2]

Stena was first spotted near Hamina, where she spent the night on a beach. Two days later, she got stuck in a fishing net near Kotka and capsized a fishing boat. Following this, Stena swam up a river and climbed over land to a domestic garden 150 meters inland.^[2] Stena was reportedly very weak, and it was decided to bring her to a veterinary hospital in a zoo.^[3]

Rescue teams hoped to transport Stena away from the garden in a box and over to Korkeasaari Zoo in Helsinki. However, she did not survive the journey.^{[citation needed]} The zoo stated that she would likely not have survived in the wild. A pathologist was to determine her cause of death.^[3]
