This walrus was transferred to SeaWorld San Antonio in either March or April of 1988, in preparation for the grand opening of the park in May -- one source states that he passed away two weeks after arrival, while another claims he passed on May 3rd due to "heart and lung problems".
By all indications, Woofy II was the sire of Andrea, a female pup born in 1978. However, one source lists Farouk as her sire, and as I have no way of confirming either source I've chosen to exclude her from his list of offspring and instead list the possibility of his paternity in the notes section.
