Logistically, there won't be. She has no family group, and also will spend her entire formative years in human care and contact (do recall, as stated in the video, a walrus calf spends most of its first two _years_ in constant contact with its mother!), so even with the best of training/rehabilitation, they won't be able to make up that difference. There are _no_ really successful attempts to release mammals that have been taken into human care at such a young stage...by the time they're mature enough to be able to live relatively on their own, they're also habituated enough to humans that they're likely to become nuisance animals, wanting to interact with people/be fed by people. That leads to either the animal being returned to a human care situation in a good ending, or being euthanized as a potential danger to humans in the bad ending. They're also, no matter how hard their human caregivers try to teach them to be self-sufficient, often poor at being able to hunt and feed themselves, and can also quickly succumb to malnutrition, illness related to it, and outright starvation. Also, there's a great likelihood they won't be able to integrate into wild populations, which is really important for social creatures like these. They might even be attacked, particularly if the reason they were abandoned in the first case was due to health-related reasons. Look at the story of Keiko, who spent his brief time after being released trailing miserably behind wild orca pods, but never being able to join their group.
@@Mokiefraggleagreed! And even if she does end up in a zoo situation where she continues to interact with her new herd, as opposed to the foreign though natural one, at least she won’t be killed by being ostracised or pushed away and traumatised. Seeing her in captivity may not be optimal from an ideological point of view but her life is precious and, in being preserved, given she couldn’t be successfully returned to the wild and live, only become a nice lunch for some predator she having no survival skills, she can be seen and admired by humans who would never see such an animal otherwise, and therefore appreciate her species more and become aware of how precious the species is. Where I live, in Tasmania, there has been a juvenile male sea elephant hauling out in suburbia and he actually flaked out catching some rays on the highway quite near me, though I didn’t see him except on TV. He was quite off course. I wish I had seen him. There’s colonies of sea lions here and I’ve done a boat trip that goes fairly close-ish but when one of them came into Hobart’s waterfront and set up near one of the floating fish and chips restaurants, I was amazed at how huge they are. Education of the humans needs a visual, David Attenborough can only go so far.
YOU KNOW BLCK FISH WAS A LIE RIGHT.... 😂😂 SeaWorld does alot to help marine wild life.... what do you do????? .... p.s. I h e over 1,000 hours volunteering for nature and national park service
@@CoquiDeBoriken They haven't in the past 40+ years... I really don't understand how people think SeaWorld is still going to the ocean to capture orcas. It's the ARA agenda that keeps that lie alive though. SeaWorld's focus has been on rescue, rehabilitation and education for decades now.
She is a very cute baby. If she can be released back in the wild once she Is old enough and if she can be taight how to catch her own food then she should be released back in the wild. But since she is so young, thats not looking like that will happen. If not one day she should ne sent to.a seaside sanctuary.
@@CoquiDeBoriken Unless they can find her specific herd, and they're willing to take her back, it won't work. There's a high likelihood that any herd, even her own, would reject her for having been separated from them for an extended period. Also, we don't know what led to them abandoning her in the first place; if it was health-related, it's entirely possible that they wouldn't just reject her, but might actively try to kill her, if she's in a state of "healthy enough to be alive in human care, but not healthy enough to not be detrimental to the herd."
No. That baby does not need to join Sea World! Do the humanitarian thing and take care of her but if she can be released back into the wild, then that is what needs to happen. What is it with humans and wanting to put living things on display and in captivity?
well hope they rehab her and let her go be a wild walrus in the wild not lock her up in a manmade prison for human entertainment. prays for her health and thanks for helping her.
That baby walrus isn't at Sea World. It's at the Alaska SeaLife Center. That woman from Sea World went up there just help out. The headline is misleading.
Once they get a hold of that baby walrus, they will not set it free, look what they did to Coco he died in captivity well his pod followed him, and he died in captivity alone without his family.
I’m glad they rescued her, which is a good thing and definitely did not abduct her which would be bad. Rescuing equals easy marketing and abduction leads to protests by the masses. Thank goodness they are a reputable organization and we should have no reason to ever doubt them.
Thank goodness it’s the AK SeaLife Center holding the calf and not the other organization. I went to SW once and was so depressed; I never want to visit again.
See , that’s why I love sea world , I’m going next month in September.. They treat there animals right idk why there was so much heat in them the last few years
Can’t say about recent years but I heard in the past they didn’t always treat some animals well. Also… forcing animals to perform (not unlike a circus) can be considered mistreatment. No different than horse drawn carriages for tourism. There’s an ethical factor to forced animal labor, but that’s a separate conversation. I don’t know if that’s why they’re catching heat.
Because keeping large marine mammals, like orcas and dolphins, in small tanks and forcing them to perform for profit is wrong. Those animals are extremely intelligent and are not happy in captivity. It's wrong.
Yes, for socialization her joining them would be great. But the animals need to be returned to their appropriate environment containment in this way for all these animals is like jail they’re being punished for a crime they did not commit. Should not be on display for our benefit, we do not benefit from this in the long run we suffering. It should be a waystation for healing and rehabilitation. ONLY
This poor baby going back to the wild is like if you got raised by tigers as an infant and then when you turned 18, the tigers dropped you off to the human world and said “good luck!”… Returning some animals to the wild doesn’t really work like that
You do realize that 99.999% of the animals they rescue are released. The only reason that some of them aren’t is because they cannot be released into the wild and survive so instead of putting them out there to their death, they give them a chance to live and educate other people about these animals. Yes, they’ve done some bad, but they are not all out evil.
So sweet usually you think of seaworld just taking orcas from the wild and being cruel making them swim around in circles in a tiny pool wich even I would think was to small to swim in but no this seaworld helps animals like this adorable walres this seaworld is truly amazing ❤
Certain marine mammals do well in captivity because humans are able to cater to their needs. Killer whales are not one of those animals, but walruses are.
I have mixed feelings about SeaWorld, but they have rescued countless sea turtles and manatees, especially those unfortunate enough to be struck by motor boats. They would have had very little chance surviving on their own..
You clearly have never been to SeaWorld. They do not force their animals to do “tricks.” For one, the animals that have presentations only do natural behaviors. And for two, if they animal doesn’t want to do it, they don’t force them. I can’t speak for all marine life parks, but SeaWorld doesn’t abuse their animals and it shows.
From another news report, she was found by a couple of hunters who found her wandering on her own. And they immediately called for help. The rest is history..
As one user pointed out, Seaworld helped with the rescue, but the baby is being cared for by SeaLife in Alaska. Also, I saw a video where Seaworld in Australia helped a dolphin that had been attacked by a shark, and then released it.
That baby walrus isn't at Sea World. It's at the Alaska SeaLife Center. That woman from Sea World went up there to help out. The headline is misleading.
It's just ridiculous that in today's day and age people can do something good but the brainwashed hate mongers still make it into the comments to find something to complain about. Sea World, 35,000 rescues and counting.
I wish with all of my heart that you “journalists” could find a better word for baby animals without parents. “Abandoned” implies the mother chose to leave her behind. Abandonment necessitates intention.
They don't know what happened, occasionally the mother does abandon it's offspring. Could have been a young inexperienced mother or they were separated and she couldn't find it and then left with the herd.
This is a very touching story. However, the hard cold truth is that significant resources are being spent on one high-risk walrus that nature decided was not going to survive, and those resources would do far greater benefit for the walrus population if spent on habitat restoration and protection.
Your headline is misleading. The Alaska SeaLife Center rescued the walrus and is caring for her. Sea World just sent some extra help.
Sea World is trying to mend their image.
Exactly!!
Ty for telling us. I'm glad that she isnt at that evil place.
Lies😂
The idiotic commentator, Zara Barker (?) is very obviously as intelligent as a STUMP. She should keep her hole shut.
Kudos to Alaska SeaLife Center for taking care of a baby walrus calf. She's adorable.
Bless all the experts and enthusiasts that are helping the baby walrus.
Dozzer is massive!
So cute. Poor baby.
Her wiskers, her fat rolls…….I am in love . She is perfect and absolutely adorable.
Sweet little walrus. Thank goodness they were there to save the life of this sweet calf.
Poor baby, losing her mom. Hope she grows strong and gets better. Looks like she is getting great care.
Two weeks old and already has a mustache that would make Tom Selleck jealous.
I hope there is a possibility that little one is released back out to sea when she's old enough rather than live in captivity. Shes very cute.

Prayers for this little angel. 🙏🏼 ❤️
Long life to this beautiful pup.
Too stinkin' CUTE!
She is quite a bit heavier than me but I would gladly volunteer my snuggling services for that walrus baby. 🤗
What a cutie. I would love to take care of her. What an awesome job.
Ohh sweet pea😢 Hope she makes it!!
Haha!!! We have a rabbit named sweet pea!!
Thank goodness for animal lovers and rescuers ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a cool job to have

Thanking for saving the baby walrus ❤ heros
You’re telling me the same place that imprisons killer whales saved a walrus’ life?
Poor wee thing. I wish you much love and luck little one ❤ xxx
Such a beautiful baby ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you seaworld for doing all you do!
I LOVE WALRUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kindest and gentlest things on Earth. AND CUTEST. Dozier eats 125 pounds per day. Sounds like constant eating.
He is so cute!
Thank you SeaWorld!!
I have fond memories of scritching the muzzle of Sigfried the pink walrus at the St. Louis Zoo.

These are herd animals. They can't survive on their own without the herd.

Oh no...I wish the precious walrus could go to an actual sanctuary and not commercial Sea World ...SW is a prison sentence for innocent animals
So precious
Lovely, lovely, lovely creature!
What a cutie!
Again, high school career counsellors - why did you not tell me walrus calf snuggler was an option???
Rescue her, but make sure to create a strong baby who isn’t a slave to you!!
SeaWorld has always rescued animals , people are ignorant to the facts
People want to be bitter losers about everything.
Nope. We understand that they have always rescued animals, but their PRIMARY MISSION is MAKING MONEY.
@@philoctetes_wordsworth you are bitter
@@philoctetes_wordsworthfactssssss
I worked for them for a summer in college, the most important thing was money to all the higher ups in the park
What does it mean if every walrus you have been close to spits on you?
so cute
🙏
❤❤❤
so where will she go once she's older? back into the wild? or to a new home with new human friends?
No. That baby does not need to join Sea World! Do the humanitarian thing and take care of her but if she can be released back into the wild, then that is what needs to happen. What is it with humans and wanting to put living things on display and in captivity?
i hate to break to you sweet cheeks more than likely that animal is not eligible to be released into the wild
what is this animal
❤
is the baby going to be ok
Misleading infos. The walrus is being care by Alaska SeaLife Center. Seaworld helped in the rescue but not staying there which I’m very glad
Maybe the title is to cause discourse. But at least the walrus is safe.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
well hope they rehab her and let her go be a wild walrus in the wild not lock her up in a manmade prison for human entertainment. prays for her health and thanks for helping her.
I know this is a bit unfair, but the title kind of reads: “Child prison rescues abandoned child”
Cute
It would be great if she could be released.
Great! Now let's hope they don't stick it in a tank and force it to perform.
Very cool this is SeaWorld's quintessential mission statement 👍
Their quintessential purpose is making money.
@@philoctetes_wordsworth yeah that's the purpose of every corporation.
