在這張由野生物保育學會所發布的照片中，來自西班牙加里西亞的七歲男童布奇塔9月27日第一次到紐約水族館，他坐在海象館前，透過玻璃看新誕生的小海象游過他身旁，這是小海象第一次公開亮相。

The playful calf, which eats 70 pounds of fish a day and weighs 250 pounds, was born on June 12. His mom is Kulusiq, a 13-year-old weighing 1,800 pounds. The proud papa is Ayveq, who’s 12 feet long and tips the scales at 2,700 pounds. They have been at the aquarium since 1994, when they were rescued off St. Lawrence River in Alaska. This is Kulsiq’s first calf and the Aquariums first birth of a Pacific Walrus in its 111-year history, ac-cording to a spokesperson.

這頭好玩的小海象每天要吃70磅重的魚，目前體重250磅，他是在6月12日出生。他的媽咪是13歲的庫露西克，體重1800磅。那位驕傲的爸爸則是艾維克，他身長12呎，重2700磅。這對夫妻自1994年起就是紐約水族館嬌客，當時牠們被人從阿拉斯加聖羅斯斯河救起。據發言人說，這是庫露西克所生的第一隻小海象，也是紐約水族館111年歷史中第一次生出太平洋海象。
