Sea Otter Found Near Death On Beach Rescued

- Our veterinary team is working around-the-clock at the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre to save a severely injured adult male sea otter who was rescued on Sunday, February 23. He was found on Whiffen Spit, on Vancouver Island, non-responsive and required immediate medical intervention. Together with a team from the BCSPCA Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre, the Aquarium's Rescue Centre team rescued the critically injured animal from the beach. The otter was extremely emaciated with undetermined injuries to his hind flippers. Tests showed that he was hypoglycemic, a sign that he has not been meeting his daily caloric requirement for some time. He was transported to Vancouver and admitted to the Rescue Centre where staff continue to stabilize him. He is receiving 24-hour intensive care and is being hand-fed every two hours. It is still too early to tell if he will survive, but we are doing everything we can to ensure he has the best chance for a successful rehabilitation for eventual release back into local waters.

I found myself here from Joey the baby Sea Otter....You guys are amazing....😊
Same!!!
Thank you Vancouver Aquarium for rescuing this poor little guy! He's one of the lucky ones!
When the one staff member says "good morning sunshine" I felt that.
Blessing
RIP, dear Whiffen. God loves you and heaven is the best place for you.
Whiffen? Is that what they called this otter and it died? Video is 6 years ago, wish they'd update on this same video so we'd know what happened.
@@jaym8094 Yes, they named the sea otter Whiffen (based on location/place he was found). here's the update video about Whiffen ua-cam.com/video/PgVpq1KOsWU/v-deo.html
Awwwww, poor baby! At least his last days were good and he was cared for!
Thounds of thank you
Thank you, Vanaqua...
He is getting pampered by a bunch of good looking girls. Lucky guy.
It was sooooooo cute thank you for Saving him
2:22. You can just hear him "Thanks guys,. this is the best I felt in a long time!"
Well people this is how I knew Canada and Canadians when I came here in 85 and most of the time this is how and what Canadians are all about ! Caring and giving friendly and just nice around people ! There are a few hick ups time to time but what you see in these videos is how most Canadians are ! I love to be a Canuck my self ! Peace out ! lol
The awesome people at MMRC and VanAqua are doing an amazing job returning sick and/or injured marine life back to health. I have been watching baby otter Joey several times a day for the last several weeks and I am so thankful for the efforts you do! Thank you!!
Thank you for saving him!
Thank you so much for saving his life u guys r simply awesome.
And GB all who look after these precious creatures of GOD
Thank you for helping them 🦦
1:58 This Otter must feel like he's in Heaven..
I am just amazed at how easily he accepts help! Most sick animals will not let a person touch them. There really is something special about sea otters. PS. was he released?
You are all doing the highest work, tremendous to see thank-you so much. I donate funds to wildlife rescue organizations but would love to be more hands on involved, to be of true service to other creatures whom need our help.
Thanks to youtube algorithm.. a video with so many messages hidden still lags in views & moral. its been 6 years lets make 100 M on this
Thank you for giving him care and love. Hope for humanity yet.
God bless all of you, for saving these beautiful babies.
My goodness, that sound he makes at 01:00 to 01:10... pure relief... those "Mm... I needed that *so* much" grunts.
Thank you so much for rescuing this precious otter. There are definitely angels walking among us.
Wow, all I have to say is I am grateful that organizations like this and the work they do.
Thank you SO much for saving him!
He really really really enjoyed that shrimp you gave him during transport. Poor baby boy! So glad he was rescued!
You are doing a wonderful job, thank you.
Otters, beavers, koalas are mother natures "stuffed toys"....cute and cuddlings.
***** I would only hold one when still a small cub....just like with an otter, all wild animals (domestics too) have some kind of natural "personal weapon" to defend themselves.
***** what!...are you trying to tell me that some people eat koalas!?...well I shouldn't be surprised since here in the USA some people do eat possums, squirrels, racoons, etc.....hehehe....so far not me....and hopefully I'll never have to.
Blessing for you.🤗🙏
You guys are amazing!
Vancouver rescue team, astonishes me. Amazing people!!!!
So glad these kind people found and took care of the otter.
Love to all of you
Thank you for wonderful job🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

I donated he was so cute!!
No no no no no the more otters you save the more animals you kill!!!!!!! :(
Justin Alindogan how??? Sea otters are actually keystone predators. They eat sea urchins that could potentially overgrow and inhibit the growth of other species
@@renchen831 Aren’t they are endangered, too?
Amazing footage! Ya all good people!
Benditos esos angeles humanos que ayudan a los animalitos
hope he gets better. 😢🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
An update on whether he made it or not and what the end prognosis was would have been nice.
I am sorry to have to say this, but Whiffen - as they named him - perished after 3 months of care.

That's awful news Michael. I'm sorry to hear the little guy didn't make it. Thank you for the update.
LaVaun Johns Yeah I know. But at least he did not die starving and freezing on a beach but warm and cosy, loved and cared for.
Ohh... :( :( :(
awww:(
Poor little fur baby ferret on crack. I love otters 🐚🐾
Cute
Poor baby
I want him....
Aww. They saved him. : ) Anyone know which otter is this? Is he still at VA?
Just read below his name is Whiffen and he died 3 mths later. : (
Well, that's a start. Any idea how old he might be? He looks smaller than Wally to me.
Were you able to fully rehabilitate him and return him to the wild?
He died
What a job to have, stroking otters all day lol
Really ??? ......I wanna see more😖😥
I can’t read the small closed captions . Very dark on dark writing . No explanation on this sea otter .
Oohh when they do that people rush in and they rescue the thing but when I do that they yell at me,call me a drunk and the calls the cops on me smh cold world we live in
Can anybody tell me how is the otter Whiffen now?
Sea Otter: I've been captured by the Aliens.. finally. What humiliation! I think they're gonna do experiments on me..
They've got decent shrimp, gotta give em that.
BUT WHY DIDN'T YOU ADMINISTER HUGS!!??!?!
Vanaqua is medical failure for not hugging injured otter.
Lol, on a bed of ice cubes.
:-( SAD
Spend the money on Wildlife NOT illegal migrants got my vote
I think maybe this old sea otter.
I guess .
Otters are dangerous why don't you guys understand that
