This animal is a mystery to me. Estimated by the 2004 walrus studbook to have born in 1968, it lists an unknown capture date and no further transfers for her until 1982, to SeaWorld San Antonio -- where she is then listed as lost to follow-up. This animal has certainly passed away at this point, but as to where she was located at that time, or where she was housed prior to the 1982 transfer, I have no idea.
