2. Mitik loves wiggling around in the tub

Mitik is headed to the New York Aquarium in Coney Island. They were both rescued off Barrow, AK this summer, and have been being cared for at the Alaska Sea Life Center in Seward, AK. Mitik’s name was suggested by the daughter of one of his rescuers.

3. Pakak tried to bake a cake but his flippers dropped the measuring cup

“Pakak” means “one that gets into everything” in Inupia. Pakak will be going to the Indianapolis Zoo soon.
