They were transferred to Mundo Marino where the younger male was named Kshamenk. The older male did not receive a formal name, but was referred to as “Father of Kshamenk” - though it is unknown if they were actually related. Unfortunately, on the same day he had been captured, “Father of Kshamenk” died due to unknown reasons. Kshamenk still remains at Mundo Marino. x | x | x | x -- source link
