This pup was hand-raised after concerns about her weight while nursing from her mother.
On August 9th, 2017 a naming contest was announced for this pup; the options were Ginger, for her red fur; Gabi, for her frequent vocalizations; and Umma, a word meaning "Hope", for the walrus populations under threat in the wild. It was announced on August 14th that her name would be Ginger.
