Does anyone know if the Pittsburgh Zoo still harbors hopes of acquiring walruses for this exhibit? I have always been perplexed that an exhibit built for a large pinniped in an arctic setting would be occupied by a tropical shark species. Any idea why they didn't throw California sea-lions, harbor seals, or gray seals in here?
I've been bugging the zoo about this topic for a couple of months now. They told me that bringing in walruses would be unlikely. They were depending on the U.S. fish and wildlife service to obtain them bout never did Im so mad as it would be the only exhibit in the world where you can see the walrus swim above you.
