The Alaskan SeaLife Center was called to help when some fisherman saw a baby walrus who was all alone. Walrus are very social creatures who will bellow and snort at one another! Walrus will usually spend two years with their moms, but some stay with mom for up to five years. A mother walrus will nurse her baby for over a year.
Walrus babies weigh 45 to 75 kg at birth and can swim. The calf found was estimated to be only 4 to 6 weeks old so this ‘little’ guy needed help if he was to survive! He was taken the Alaskan SeaLife Center rehabilitation center and immediately introduced to his caretakers. The video below shows the very first meeting!
Take a look!
How quickly the walrus realizes that this man means him no harm and moves in for some snuggles! Tired after playing, he again scoots in for love! So cute! Share away, people!
