During their first two years of life, walrus calves are reliant on near-constant attention from their mothers.
"We are heartbroken to share that the walrus calf admitted to the ASLC Wildlife Response Program on August 1, 2023, passed away this morning after his condition took a turn for the worse," the ASLC said in a statement.
In the 24 hours leading up to his passing, the calf was struggling with multiple complications, including hypoglycemia and gastrointestinal problems.The calf was discovered by workers on Alaska's North Slope, a few miles inland from the Beaufort Sea. The center said this was"highly unusual," as walruses reside almost exclusively in the ocean or near the western coastline.
