Cute Otters

Tazo the Sea Otter is enjoying his new home at the New York Aquarium! If you remember, Tazo was found orphaned and rehabilitated at the Alaska SeaLife Center. He was moved to the New York Aquarium in August and seems to be settling in.

From the New York Aquarium: Just like a puppy, Tazo the sea otter loves to chew! His keepers make sure he has plenty to keep him busy, including plastic chew toys and pool toys, plus ice cubes and fishsicles—a favorite snack for this Alaska native.

For those of us living in California, we're experiencing quite a mini heat wave. This is how the sea otters at the Aquarium of the Pacific cool off!

The sea otter population isn't saved yet. With the recent deaths due to white sharks and the increasing pollution in our ocean we need to do more to save the cutest keystone species in the world! Be sure to visit your local participating zoo or aquarium this week to celebrate Sea Otter Awareness Week and learn what you can do to help.

Here's another video of the behind the scenes tour at the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, California. I took this tour too and it's worth the money to actually feed the otters in person!

Ever since I was 12, I've wanted to visit the UK and seeing all of these adorable otter births make me want to start saving for a vacation there. These cute otters are at Longleat which seems like an amazing place.
