- They were rescued as orphans in the same week. They spent the next three months of their lives together, snuggling with keepers and each other. And now, after seven years, they’ll be together again.
Young male walruses Mitik (pronounced Mitt-ick) and Pakak (Puck-uck, or Puck for short) have arrived at Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium to live in the Rocky Shores habitat - and they are clearly enjoying every minute together.
Me: What majestic creatures
Walruses: (loud mouth-farts)

They just stole my heart.
They are gorgious. Time to raise some money to build them a huge pool and more natural looking outdoor area. 💕
Was pakak transferred from the Indianapolis zoo?
For those who are wondering, males and females both have mustaches and tusks - they are for feeding on their favorite food, clams. They dig in the mud with the tusks and root around with their faces feeling for clams with their sensitive mustache bristles. Once they've felt one, their mouths are shaped and evolved to suck them up, pop open the shells with suction and spit the empty shell out in less than a second. As you can imagine, they can eat MANY clams in a day.
show them more often if you can. They're adorable. I wonder if they still like being hugged now that they're all grownup?
Falling Down, great movie!
so glad they’re together again!!! Bet that means a lot to them. Good job PtDefiance Zoo!
I just saw this, I'm so happy Pakak and Mitik are back together again!
Not anymore! 😪 Pakak recently died in March 2021. www.timesheraldonline.com/2021/03/19/six-flags-walrus-died-two-weeks-ago

@@qpid8110 truly sad, and his death is hardly being publicized, as if Six Flags is trying to play it down. He was a healthy, happy young walrus at Indianapolis and Pt. Defiance Zoos. They should've never transferred him to Six Flags.
Sliding in to dem dm's like 0:06
I hope they get a bigger enclosure.
I wanna pet 'em.
They're so damn cute
I have an uncontrollable urge to hug one of those damn things. They're too adorable
If only E.T was here to see this

Sweet
So cute! Thanks for the video.
JAMIE FROM MYTHBUSTERS RETIREMENT HOME IS SURE IS A DAMN GOOD SPOT
Walruses look like Wilford Brimley as a merman.
Quaker Oatmeal, it's the right thing to do.
*This tank looks much too small for even a single seal. What are you guys doing?? These two need much roomier housing...like yesterday!!
This isn't actually where they live, this is a training/checkup tank. If memory serves me right, it's connected to the main tank. I've been to Point Defiance and the walrus home is *far* bigger than what you can see here.
google is free
So paka is no longer at the Indy zoo? When this happen?
wondering the same
He was moved to the Pt. Defiance Zoo in Washington. And from there, he was transferred to Six Flags, where he died at age 8 years on March 4, 2021. Very sad. I don't think he should've ever been transferred from either Indianapolis or Pt. Defiance. No one is talking about it. I only found out from a random TH-cam comment on another video. www.timesheraldonline.com/2021/03/19/six-flags-walrus-died-two-weeks-ago
@@HaritheRenaissanceMan I had a bad feeling for him as soon as he left that zoo. Man that awful. 6 other animals died at that park. Why are they still sending animals to that park? Why do they all keep dying there?
@@studinthemaking exactly. The excuse for Pakak and Mitik to be transferred from the Pt. Defiance Zoo was that they were becoming adult males and they needed to find a female so they could mate and create more walrus babies. I forget where I read about this. But why Six Flags of all places? Why couldn't it have been at some other reputable zoo, or maybe Pakak and Mitik could've been separated again, and be each given a female walrus companion. I know nothing about marine wildlife or zoo regulations, so I'm just thinking out loud. I just feel that had Pakak not been transferred to that death trap, he could've still been alive today. 8 years old. Way too young to die so soon.
@@HaritheRenaissanceMan 6 walrus died there before him. They may have an animal serial killer on the lose. No park can be that incompetent.
Giant Sea Schnauzers! 🐕❤️
Young.......😳
i would fricking hug one
you spelt Pakak wrong with Patak at 0:47, otherwise great video with good footage
I like the walrus they are so adorble
Indianapolis will miss you, Pakak! ♡♡♡
The world will miss Pakak now (2012 - March 4, 2021). No one is talking about it and the circumstances surrounding his death are suspicious. I'm upset about this. www.timesheraldonline.com/2021/03/19/six-flags-walrus-died-two-weeks-ago
@@HaritheRenaissanceMan I saw this when it happened and I cried! I have never seen a zoo animal with so much personality before. I don't know who is to blame, but he shouldn't have died.
@@ritasmith5898 Totally - the article was really vague on his death, and it seems that no one wants to say anything about the circumstances around his death, but I truly believe that had he stayed at the Indianapolis or Pt. Defiance Zoos, he probably would still be alive. But again, who knows? Tragic indeed.
I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees
Sweetie
So sad they're both gone now... At least they will always live in this video.
Pakak is a big softie!
Why walrus stole my heart?
Why do we have to have that dreadful music so loud. I would sooner not have it at all, but a bit softer would be better
Wasn't Mitik raised at the NYC Aquarium?
Is that pakak from Indianapolis zoo ? Im his fans
Music?
After seeing tusk I’ll never look at a walrus the same way ever again 🤢
That's not enough space for such big animals
