Tiny Male Otter Pup Patient at our Rescue Centre

A tiny male sea otter pup - estimated to be just two to four weeks old - is now in 24-hour care at the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre, after concerned members of the public found it swimming alone in open water off northern Vancouver Island on Sunday. Although the pup appears healthy, he requires care night and day from the Rescue Centre team, just as he would from his mother. Staff and volunteers are spending shifts feeding, bathing and grooming the newborn pup, which has not yet been named.

[@emilymueller94]

100% agreed. And I can't get enough of their little squeals... I love human babies, but when they start crying, it's awful. But when this little guy squeals, my heart melts. 😍

This is the cutest critter I’ve ever seen. It melts my heart.

Ya know I think it's Hardy too. It's not Mak bc he and Kunik are 4 and Rialto is 3.

[@REPULSlVECONVULSIVE]

@@SaxSasuke mak n kunik are from alaska..rialto is from...was it washington? all 3 of them are from usa...hardy is a canadian =D

[@SaxSasuke]

@@REPULSlVECONVULSIVE I think you are right, Rialto is from Washington , Seattle I want to say. This is Hardy then. CLAMS! they need name tags

[@REPULSlVECONVULSIVE]

@@SaxSasuke yes...they do! lol

[@akiram6609]

What did they end up naming this pup? Kinda sounds like Rialto (hope that’s the name lol)

[@Joy-wz2vo]

I think this might be Hardy. Rialto spent some time at the Seattle Aquarium before he went to Vancouver so I don't think he would have been that small.

[@greatloverofmusic1]

OH THIS BABY IS ADORABLE!! THANK U SO MUCH FOR POSTING ! I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING MORE OF HIM. DOES HE GET TO STAY WITH YOU OR IS HE GOING TO ANOTHER AQUARIUM?
