At the time of her death Neseyka was the last surviving Atlantic walrus in captivity, with the exception of a hybrid calf sired by a Pacific bull and born to an Atlantic cow.
Neseyka's cause of death was stated by Greenpeace Russia to have been cardiac arrest caused by ingestion of a foreign object. As published by Zoo Udmurtia, her necropsy revealed a blood clot in her heart and polystyrene foam in her intestines.
A specific date of death has not yet been published. Neseyka was last sighted via content uploaded to social media by a park guest on September 15th, 2022.
