The Pup is Introduced to the Otter Exhibit

Major milestone moment! After much anticipation, the sea otter pup is officially introduced to the exhibit in the Oceanarium!
From the moment he dipped his paws into water, the pup curiously explored the exhibit. Once acclimating to the space, he dove to the depths of the 16-foot habitat to forage for food. The young rescue is now a master at meticulously maintaining his coat of fur. Plus, he’s graduated from formula to solid sustainably sourced seafood.

Meeping with an icecube in his mouth is a classic! Hehehe!

What an adorable little guy! Does anyone know, how old he is?

[@federmaus7768]

Found it: He's born in Octobre 23 in Alaska.

Great question! Alaska SeaLife Center’s Wildlife Response Program rescued him on Halloween night 2023 and was estimated to be only 3-4 weeks old when rescued.

[@federmaus7768]

@@sheddaquarium Thank you so much for clarifying this. So he's likely born in September rather in Octobre.. Which means, he will be 6 months old already by March.

Diving talents already excellent. Not sure if I read whether the pup is a boy or a girl. Anyone? ❤🦦
A-ha! He's a boy. 👍👍
