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.
