This walrus was purchased in 1939 by the Korkeasaari Zoo, although it died during the transit while in Norway.
While this individual's capture and transit dates are unknown, it is likely to have passed in or just prior to September, considering the safe arrival of the surviving pup, Turso, to Korkeasaari that month.
