‘Cookie,’ St. Lawrence
Walrus at N. Y. Zoo,
Still Likes Her Bottle
NEW YORK, Uf) — If you have
any ideas on how to wean a 335
pound walrus, the New York
aquarium would like to hear them.
The acquarium i s having
trouble with Cookie, a spoiled fe
male walrus that came from St.
Lawrence Island. None of the
aquarium experts has been able
to wean her and the walrus books
just don’t say.
Cookie is 11 months old and
ever since she was two weeks old
she has been eating out of a
bucket with a large nipple at
tached. It was designed for baby
walruses without mothers and
Cookie doesn’t want to give it up.
Twice daily she sucks up with
gusto a finely-ground diet of
heavy cream, clams and vitamins.
But when the mixture is put in an
ordinary bucket, she turns up
her nose.
One of the reasons the aquar
ium wants to wean Cookie is that
her keeper is getting mighty tired
of holding her nipple bucket.
Another is that they want to
move her in with Olaf, a big male
walrus weighing 1,700 pounds.
They don’t think this would be
a good idea until Cookie is
weaned.
The lordly Olaf doesn’t have
any eating problems. He has been
eating happily out of an ordinary
basin ever since he came to the
aquarium at the age of six months.
The trouble is, no one knows
how they weaned Olaf.
