The Alaskan Sealife Centre is a registered charity, and their rescue operations are expensive. Consider supporting their good work if you like it.
It’s so cute. I want to snuggle with it!
Smolrus.
Holy crap. One month old and 200 pounds. I forget how big these creatures are.
Absolutely massive babies! Right behind my mom
I love the Sealife Center in Seward. They do excellent rehab and release to wild if they can, but this little one probably won’t be suitable to go back to the wild after being bottle fed.
its more the learning that humans are great cuddlers, anything that teaches them that humans are okay is going to be a problem
What you don’t want a 1500kg adult walrus barreling at the nearest group of land humans, looking for cuddles?
what’s a bit of snuggling between friends?
I mean… that’d be freaking hilarious. I kinda do want that. Even if I do get why it’s not necessarily a good thing…
Poor little guy.
