Notes and Information

Mosquarium opened in 2015 advertising two walruses in their care -- Klava and Yeva. A third walrus, Lora, was sighted in 2016. I do not know if she is the same age or was transferred to the facility at the same time as the others, but I make both assumptions here.

I believe that this individual is the same Lora that once lived at Aquatoria Sochi, although this information is as of yet unconfirmed.

An article published in January 2021 states that she is ten years old and has lived at the Moskvarium for five years.

Lora is expected to participate in an international breeding program, as she is currently Moskvarium's only walrus following the deaths of Yeva and Klava in 2019.
