Notes

Formerly located at the Water Sports Palace, the Moscow Dolphinarium permanently closed to the public on June 2nd, 2011.

This facility's parent company, Utrish Dolphinarium LLC, acquired a permit for the capture of 25 walrus pups in 2008; the following year the company White Sphere carried out the captures on a two-month expedition to the Chukotka Peninsula, a month of which was spent collecting pups for a total cost of nearly 10 million rubles. 22 of the calves (14 males and 8 females) survived the acclimation period, later making  the 13-hour transit aboard the cargo hold of a Boeing place from the Domodedovo Airport to Moscow, arriving at the Dolphinarium in November of 2009.

The then-director of Utrish Dolphinarium LLC stated that all but seven of the pups were intended to be sold at a price of around 200,000 to 350,000 rubles per head (around $6,600 to $11,550 USD); he further stated that facilities in Dubai and Hong Kong had already placed orders to purchase pups.

In January of 2010 it was claimed that five of the walrus calves had died under the care of the company's new ownership, with 17 remaining on-site. Seven of the calves, 3 males and 4 females, were transferred to the Sochi Dolphinarium in February of 2011, while the remaining animals were "loaded onto a car" the morning of February 5th. The source does not state how many of the 10 unaccounted walruses had survived to be moved in the February 5th transfer, nor is their destination known at this time.
