Sea otter training

Ever wonder what it's like to train a sea otter? We strapped a GoPro onto Animal Care Technician Aubrey to give you a first-person view of what it's like to work with these incredible marine mammals. Check it out as Aubrey works through husbandry behaviors with Aniak!

Awesome example of how positive reinforcement can teach animals of all sizes the motions they need to go through for vet checks! Not to mention, they're otterly adorable!!

such magnificent, intelligent creatures!

[@minsyubsyub5213]

I want Aniak to reunite with Sekiu, even just for a day. Is it possible to make it happen? I wanna know if they still remember each other

[@akiram6609]

That would be nice. They probably would remember each other. Otters are smart animals.
