TACOMA – Dozer, a 3,100-pound walrus who enthralled visitors at the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma, is leaving at the end of this month.
Zoo officials said Dozer mated with three female walrus and is being sent to another zoo for the same duties. They declined to say where Dozer is going.
Zoo spokeswoman Kris Sherman said a walrus has never been born at the zoo, but officials won’t know if Joan, Basilla or Kulu are pregnant until this fall.
