Alaska Sea Life Center
Meet Mitik.
Mitik, a 15 week old orphaned baby walrus, was rescued off the coast of Alaska, and brought to his new home today, at the New York Aquarium in Brooklyn.
Because walruses are social animals, Mitik's rescuers believe the Aquarium is a perfect fit for the 234-pound baby. He'll join two other walruses-- Nuka and Kulu, already in residence.
Check out Chris Jansing's report on Mitik's incredible journey:
After being rescued by locals on the Alaskan coast, two baby walruses have been nursed back to health – one was sent off to Indianapolis and another to the New York Aquarium. NBC's Chris Jansing reports.
