Pakak and Mitik - Baby Walrus Calves Play

- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2012
- The two walrus were both found stranded near Barrow in July. They were rescued one week apart, arriving in Seward on July 22 and July 30. After admission to the Center, the calves were initially housed separately. Last week, Center veterinarian Dr. Carrie Goertz determined that the animals could be housed together, explaining, "In the previous week, the younger calf made huge strides towards overcoming various complications and began to suckle from a bottle. Walrus are very social animals, and joint housing will enable the walrus to learn to socialize together and provide companionship to each other."
Center staff have nicknamed the animals "Pakak" and "Mitik." Pakak, the larger walrus who was first to arrive, is approximately 315 pounds at about 12 weeks of age. "Pakak" means "one that gets into everything" in Inupiaq and was initially suggested because fishermen first found him tugging on their fishing nets. Caregivers report that the name is indeed fitting. Mitik, the smaller and younger walrus, is approximately 175 pounds at about 9 weeks of age. The name "Mitik" was suggested by the daughter of one of the rescuers who helped to care for the calf in Barrow immediately following his rescue.

They're like... aquatic pugs...
I would pay anything to come that close to a walrus
GLORIOUS!!!!!!!WALRUS
I guess a baby is a baby, no matter what the species! They are so cute!
Walruses are so fascinating! I'm jealous you guys get to cuddle with these cute babies.
Walruses are my favorite animal by far because they are so strange yet so amazing!!
You know what I like about walruses? They don't seem to take themselves too seriously.
I love how goofy these little guys look and act
Hi Wickerspin1119 - Yes, walrus eyes are like that.
So cute I wish I had a Walrus
So adorable
Such sweet babies! I love walruses! :-)
1 guy saving 1 animal makes the world tick 10 times better than 100 guys killing 100.000 animals.
It is up to us to give value to that one single guy so that, among the billions of guys on the planet, more like him can be inspired and keep up with such a good work.
Share this video!
Was I the only one who burst out laughing at 1:25?
Thanks for all peoples, who care about this nice animals!!!
I want to hug them both
Ive been watching Mit (and now, Pakak) since your first video posts. My heart goes out to them. They're closer to Pittsburgh now, and hopefully someday soon, I can visit them in Brooklyn. I hope they're not scared of cops!
i would love to pet a baby walrus sooo cute!!!
What Dear Big Loverly Lumps!!
Glad they've each got a pal now. it'll work better soon, won't it, when Mitik is a bit bigger?!! Brilliant!!
Please keep the videos of Pakak n Mitik coming?? Thanks very much indeed xxx
yessss Robbaz would be so proud
At what age do their tusks start coming in? Do you rub their little gums or give them something to gnaw on? They are so CUUUUUTE!!!! When do they start eating solid food? Are they going to get a bigger pool pretty soon, seems like an awful lot of walrus in a little bitty pool .... and how is Mitik? He/she does not seem very active compared to Pakak, is he/she OK?
The big one reminds me of my lab mix the way it gets all jealous when the smaller walrus (or in my case my terrier mix) is getting too much cuddle-time. :)
Is there anyway i can adopt a baby walrus
Hope they get enough funds for a larger water pool, they really need more water to play in
These guys are just too adorable :D
I'm making a trip back to see the family in AK around Thanksgiving and will have to visit the SeaLife Center while I'm there.
Pakak is my favorite walrus❤️

Hi - I love these videos and contributed for the 5k; do you guys think you could make a facebook page just for updates on the Walruses? I'm trying to encourage my friends to support the Sea Life Center and this might be an easier way to do it.
