Walrus currently in captivity

#139
Don't forget
1.0 Aku (former called "Nugget") at the Alaska SeaLife Center, Seward, AL
He's still young, but he's an american walrus in captivity too!

 

I believe there are much walrus in asia, especially in China and Japan.

 

Yes even in some if the more smaller aquariums in China there seem to be walruses

I also have some data about the Inventory for Russia, Belarus, Spain and Turkey, but I'm not sure if it's still curent.

 

Does Hamburg have 2.3 or 2.4 Walrus?

 

2.3 now, as written above

0.1 Loki (Odinnadtsatyi x Polosa) *05.06.2015 unfortunately passed away on 21.08.17 (look at #137, #140)

 

Thanks! I actually got to go to Harderwijk, I believe they have the only "Walrus show" at a zoo featuring more than 1 animal. Sea World uses an occasional single walrus in their Sea Lion show during the end. Sad to hear that they are down to 5.

 

Inventory for Udmurtia zoo (Izhevsk zoo) is the same as 3 years ago - 1.2.
Send me your data on other facilities in Russia, I will try to check if it is actual.

 

I believe the Milwaukee County Zoo has at least one that is brought out during the Sea Lion Show.

 

Nope. They only have sea lions and seals.

 

Not seeing it listed here. http://www.milwaukeezoo.org/pdf/AnimalList.pdf

Their site Oceans of Fun lists California Sea Lions and Harbor seals, the typical NA zoo inventory.

 

It is possible that they do not have a walrus, and what I heard was wrong. But I do know that the pdf list you linked is missing a few behind the scenes only species.

 

Not "it's possible". They 100%, without any shadow of a doubt, do NOT have any walruses at their facility, on display or not. You most likely saw a male sea lion and mistook it for a walrus.

 

A friendly suggestion: you might want to consider the reliability of your source. I once had a coworker tell me that they saw an elephant at the Scovill Zoo in Illinois with their kid during a recent visit (spoiler alert: Scovill Zoo does not have elephants, or anything else larger than a camel). Also, many zoo visitors don’t actually know the species they see

If you feel comfortable, you could also say where you heard it and others can weigh in on whether they think that source is likely to be accurate.
