Walrus calves depend on their mothers for the first two years of life. The calf, estimated to be about a month old, arrived at the Alaska SeaLife Center after being spotted about four miles inland from the Beaufort Sea.
— A rare walrus calfthat was under 24/7 cuddle care after being found wandering alone in northern Alaska has died, according to the Alaska SeaLife Center.
“Though our animal care teams worked tirelessly to provide round-the-clock critical care treatments, never leaving his side, the calf ultimately succumbed to his condition,” the center said. “A necropsy will be conducted in the days following to further understand the cause of death.” Walrus calves depend on their mothers for the first two years of life, and no adult walruses were in sight when this one was found, according to the center.
