There was no news thread for the NY Aquarium, so here's one. Mitik, an orphaned Pacific Walrus from the Alaska Sea Life Center has been brought to the NY Aquarium to be a companion and possibly breeding partner for one of their female walruses eventually. He will be off-exhibit for a while. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/10/n...rus-to-arrive-at-new-york-aquarium.html?_r=2&
