The rescued calf arrived at the center from Utqiagvik, Alaska. Activities permitted by USFWS LOA-PER0051451.

Grant called the loss of the calf last year devastating, but said staff were cautiously hopeful about their new patient, who is still undergoing tests and is just the 11th walrus the center has cared for in its 26-year history. The calf has taken to a bottle well, Grant said.
