Rescued Walrus Calf Dies At Alaska SeaLife Center

One of three walrus calves rescued from the Barrow shoreline and taken to the Alaska SeaLife Center didn’t make it. The calf was pretty emaciated and died within a day of being brought in July 30. A second calf remains in critical condition, while a third is now stabilized in the Center’s critical care unit, which has a windowpane for the public to be able to look inside.
