Otterly adorable.
Abby is a five-year-old sea otter rescued as a newborn pup in Santa Barbara. She was raised at Sea World San Diego with the help of experts at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. She was transferred from Sea World to the Aquarium in June and is now living in the public exhibit with several other otters.
From the emailed newsletter:
The staff is hoping that Abby will be able and willing to act as a surrogate mom for the abandoned or orphaned otter pups that are rescued along the California coast, raised to adulthood, and released back into the wild when they're ready.
For more photos and info, visit the blog post at the Aquarium's Tumblr.
To see the otters frolicking in their exhibit, check out the Sea Otter Live Web Cam at the Aquarium's website. (It may take a little while to load, so be patient.) And, to learn more about the individual otters -- and the toys and enrichment items you may see on the cam -- check out the Sea Otter Spotting Guide (link is to the right of the cam screen).
You can also look at the other five cams in various exhibits. The cams are operational between 7 AM and 7 PM, PST. At other times you can see pre-recorded videos. Feeding times in the exhibits are posted; many animals are fed individually to make sure everybody gets the right food and enough of it. Check 'em out!
