Marineland to Move Two Walruses, Settles Dispute With Former Employee

Walruses Smooshi and Koyuk will be moved to another location where they can live with other walruses.

Marineland says it will move its last two walruses to a different facility. 

The Niagara Falls attraction says Smooshi and her baby Koyuk will be moved to a location where they can interact with other walruses. 

The park did not say where the walruses will be sent. 

Marineland also says it has settled an agreement with activist Phil Demers, a former employee, after a nearly ten year long court battle. 

In 2013, Marineland accused Demers of trespassing into the park with other activists to steal a walrus.

Demers denied the claim, and countersued for defamation.
