A Pacific walrus pup rests his head on the lap of an Alaska SeaLife Center staff member after being admitted to the center’s Wildlife Response Program on Aug. 1. Walruses are highly tactile and social animals, receiving near-constant care from their mothers during the first two years of life. To emulate this maternal closeness, round-the-clock “cuddling” is being provided to ensure the calf remains calm and develops in a healthy manner.
