INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) -  

The Indianapolis Zoo's new walrus calf, Pakak, made his public debut Wednesday.

The calf, whose name in Inuit means "gets into everything," was rescued near Barrow, Alaska . Zoo officials said he was only weeks old when he was separated from the group of walruses he was with.

Another adult female walrus called Aurora will be arriving at the zoo sometime after the new year to keep Pakak company, the zoo said.
