Walrus calves rescued in Alaska find new homes in B’klyn, Indianapolis
Around-the-clock care will continue at Aquarium
Two male walrus calves orphaned off the coast near Barrow, Alaska, will be given new homes at the Indianapolis Zoo and the Wildlife Conservation Society’s New York Aquarium in Coney Island.
Struggling to survive in the wild after losing their mothers, the unrelated calves were discovered by local fishermen about a week apart in July. In both cases, each calf was badly dehydrated and in poor health.
