Notes and Information

This individual's arrival to Dalian Laohutan Ocean Park as part of a male and female pair was announced in the first quarter (January - March) of 2011. No exact information regarding a transfer date was given.

In the second quarter (April - June) of 2011 the walruses names were released -- this is the last official record I have of their existence.

While it has not been explicitly stated, I make the assumption that Matsa is the bull of the pair.
