What happened to the walruses that Cincinnati Zoo had in the early 1990's? Apparently they resided in the 90,000 gallon pool near the children's zoo (where pinnipeds still exist) but did the species simply die out?
Also, in the early 1990's Cincinnati had many other gems, including: Douc langur, greater mouse lemur, common mouse lemur, mongoose lemur, white-fronted lemur, Komodo dragon (very rare at that time in U.S. zoos), shoebill stork, American burying beetle (only zoo in U.S. with species), pampas cat, rusty spotted cat, Temminck's golden cat, jaguarundi, Persian leopard and Indochinese tiger.

The sea lion exhibit depicts the rocky shores of the Pacific Coast. The habitat is open-topped with both above and underwater viewing. The exhibit originally held three walruses. Later two passed away and one surviving male was transferred to Seaworld Orlando. In 2002, the zoo received two sea lions along with harbor seals.*
