While taking his routine stroll behind his residence, a man was startled by frantic cries echoing in the vicinity. Puzzled by the unusual disturbance, he proceeded towards the nearby beach to investigate further.
Approaching the shoreline, the man’s heart sank at the sight of a vulnerable creature in distress. There, amidst a pile of tears, sat a baby otter, separated from its family and yearning for maternal comfort. Touched by the otter’s plight, an employee from the nearby aquarium felt compelled to intervene and reunite the distressed otter with its kin.
The man’s walk took an unexpected turn as he became entangled in a heartwarming rescue mission, embodying the compassionate spirit necessary to mend the bonds of the animal kingdom.

He was also adept at managing the young otter, so he gently lifted her and strolled along the beach, aiming to reunite her with her mother. He hoped the cries of the baby otter would attract her mom’s attention. Unfortunately, no other otters were in sight, probably because of the significant swells caused by the weather, which likely led to the permanent separation of the baby otter from her mother.
Left with no alternative, the man decided to take the baby otter to the aquarium for care.

The day before this baby otter was transferred to Shedd Aquarium, she had the pleasure of being in care at Monterey Bay. The humans there knew it would be important for her to adapt to various otter activities, so the pup learned about solid foods and swimming in water below your belly.
