This walrus was transferred to San Antonio in either March or April, and passed away either on March 29th or in May. His cause of death was given as "kidney and liver failure".
Farouk was listed in one article as the sire of Andrea, born in 1978. By all other accounts, she was the first pup of 17 or 11-year-old bull Woofy. As I can't be certain of her paternity, I have chosen to leave her off of his offspring listing and note the possibility in this section instead.
