00:00 This baby walrus needed 24-hour care,
00:04 including lots of cuddling,
00:06 which is more than many other rescued marine mammals require.
00:10 You see, this little one weighing in at 164 pounds
00:14 was spotted far away from the ocean
00:16 where it should have been.
00:18 The one-month-old male walrus was seen miles inland,
00:21 a highly unusual location for a Pacific walrus.
00:25 The calf is currently being cared for
00:28 by the Alaska Sea Life Center
00:30 because his mother couldn't be found.
00:32 To emulate the mother-son bond the walrus needs,
00:35 experts are tending to him with round-the-clock cuddling
00:38 to ensure the calf stays calm and develops appropriately.
00:42 He's even eating formula from a bottle.
00:44 Right now, he cannot be viewed publicly.
00:47 This is the agency's first walrus
00:49 at the center in four years
00:51 and one of 10 in the last 25 years.
00:54 This is "Inside Edition Digital."
