Orphaned Newborn Otter Rescued from Deadly Orca Attack: Heartbreaking Cry for Mother

A newborn sea otter was rescued by wildlife responders in Alaska after surviving an orca attack witnessed by Natalie Hunter and her group. The otter pup's mother did not survive the attack, but the cries of the pup indicated it was still alive. The responders waited for the orcas to leave and then called for assistance. The pup was carefully brought back to shore and is now receiving round-the-clock care at the Alaska SeaLife Center. It is the second orphaned otter pup admitted in less than a week.

Tragic Loss: Rescued Walrus Calf Receiving Round-the-Clock Cuddles Passes Away

Despite receiving round-the-clock care and cuddles from wildlife rescue workers, a 150-pound walrus pup rescued from a frozen Alaskan oil field died due to complications of malnutrition. The orphaned calf, found alone and suffering from malnutrition and dehydration, was admitted to the Alaska SeaLife Center's Wildlife Response Program. Despite the center's best efforts, the young mammal suffered nutrient malabsorption and other complications, ultimately succumbing to his condition. A necropsy will be performed to determine the cause of death.

Tragic Loss: Rescued Baby Walrus, Receiving Round-the-Clock Cuddles, Passes Away

A rescued baby walrus, who was receiving "round-the-clock" cuddles as part of his treatment, has died at the Alaska SeaLife Center. The Pacific walrus calf, believed to be around a month old, was found alone and struggling with health issues. Despite efforts to save him, his condition worsened, and he passed away. A necropsy will be performed to determine the cause of death. Walruses face challenges due to declining sea ice caused by global warming, making it difficult for them to find food and rest.
