Notes and Information
Lyusya, Lyalechka, and Yakut's arrival to Dolphinarium Neptune was announced on July 3rd, 2019, although I have no information regarding their actual date of transfer, nor where they were transferred from.
The trio arrived at the Saint Petersburg Dolphinarium at some point between around September 15th to November 3rd of 2019.
This individual may have been transferred to the Arkhipo-Osipovsky Dolphinarium in November of 2020 and housed there for around a month prior to arriving at Utrish.
A document published in 2024 revealed that four walruses owned or held by the Utrish Marine Station had died from 2019 to 2023, and that the facility had two surviving individuals on loan to other facilities; with only Lyusya's status being unknown of Utrish's final three walruses, she is strongly believed to have passed. She was last sighted at the facility via content uploaded on September 26th of 2021.
