There have been a total of 10 sea otter births at the Aquarium, and eight of those pups lived to adulthood.
One of our biologists recorded this video with her iPad as the vet was conducting the exam.
shrimp and barrel rolls..what fun for them...that pup is precious
They’re super cute as adults. Pups are irresistible.
In the name of physical examinations the vet got to knead all that floof to her heart’s content
She was probably thinking "Doesn't anyone want to be my mother"?So adorable💗💗💗
@strlightcutie521 Sea otters turn over as they eat to remove food debris from their chests as well as to store some of their food in loose skin folds under their arms.
Oh!Thanks😊
I suspect wo reasons: One is that the mother associates the trainers with food, play, and other good things in general, so she trusts them as much as an otter can. The other is that she's being constantly distracted with shrimp through the whole thing. It's only JUST enough to keep her from clambering out and swiping wildly at the vet, I would imagine.
She trusts the vet, she even gave the baby to them so I think your first option is true
@@sweetcoco8064 do you think they do the exam near the mom to make sure she knows her pup is ok and she’s not going anywhere rather than taking her away for a bit to do the exam?
I've always been in love with otters. They are so adorable. I respect the wild in them. Glad they're growing healthy!
Don't think anything in the world is cuter than an otter pup!
Beaver babies,pretty adorable!😄
TWO OTTER PUPS!!
Clearly you haven't met me
Of course sea otter pups are #1!
@Creepy Hair Sniffer Indeed!
so cute!!!
Sooooooo cuuuttteeeeeeeee....
😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks! Keep Posting! I can't get enough of this pup! Way too~cute!
THIS IS SO CUTE ❤️
They. Are. The. Cutest. ❤️
Look at her swimming at only two and a half weeks old - that's sooo cute! All that bouyant fluff is like swimming with an inflated diving BC LOL
Oh my god...best job ever!...I would squeeze that little fuzz bucket 😍
Adorable!! ❤❤❤
just who disliked this bundle of fluff, who?
Wonderful!

Disregard Mum, check out the boot!
man, that is the quietest otter pup i've ever seen! usually they're loud as fuck. not complaining though, they're both equally cute
Too cute
SO adorable! How come it looked like the pup had her head under water a lot of the time while swimming?
This creatures nepotism is so on point. It triggers human mothers caregiver response when they cry.
long trip by herself.🙂
Why do the otters turn over as they are eating?
Невозможная милота!
This is the life: cavorting in the water while people are feeding you 🍤!
If you reunite Aniak with Sekiu, do you think they will recognize or remember each other?
😄😍🤠
They d'ont stop Eating and Spinning ! Eating ! Spinning ! Eating ! ...
A movie will be made about them .animated or something
They are movie material.
Her little squeaks and her tiny fluffy self❤🥰🥰❤🥰🥰❤🥰❤🥰❤🥰❤😍😍😍
why do they accept this treatment? do they know that the vet is trying to help them? you'd figure the pups parent would object to some large alien creature manhandling their pups. this is cute and i like it but just wondering.
Stephen Smith sea otters are very intteligent
Stephen Smith they would know because they took them in
The pup made me all weak and mushy.
I can’t watch these without horrendous Japanese videos popping up on my feed :( the ones were people keep these wild beauties as pets inside their tiny apartments...
Man, what a confident pup she was! Didn't complain during her exam, jumped right back into the water at the end, happily dunked her head under water (upside down, no less!), flippered her way around the enclosure like she owned the place... What a great girl!
background..."will twirl for treats!"
Quit already
This creature is like ROC demon
in the forest…
How many pups is it now that have been born at the aquarium? I know you have the most successful captive breeding program and now yet another "grandotter" :)
Grandotter🤭❤❤❤
My face hurts from smiling so much 😊
Yes. Sea otters eat about 25% (!) of their body weight daily... and it needs to be high-quality, high-protein stuff like shrimp, crab, and clam (or sea urchin). So, yeah, that's a lot of shrimp they go through.
Their entire diet is just seafood
Thanks so much for this amazing video. So proud of you guys for another successful captive birth! May come this weekend to come this adorable little baby!
Bless that baby and all the rest
So fluffy!!
cute
Those lil flippers are so cute!
Awww precious lil floof!!
They are so tame and cute.
I love SEA otter.☺👍
Oh my gosh that is so CUTE!
@strlightcutie521 Do you think it'd be easier to eat FACE DOWN in the water??? LOL! They make their chests a "table" to eat off of.
Hello sea otters :)
So adorable!!
Women feed animals too fast and too much .
They are otters.. they need to eat a lot.
doesn't seem to make sense to feed them tons of expensive shrimp and shellfish, they will eat fish, and other proteins, Shell fish has such a low caloric density, you could feed them fatty fish and they would get the same caloric requirements in 1/4 the weight, I'm sure biologically they do need to eat a certain amount of shellfish, but I'm betting a good portion could be replaced with more nutrient dense foods to include complex carbs and fatty fish, probably reduce the food they have to eat to a more manageable 5% of body weight.
Sea otters eat VERY little fish out in the willd. Hardly never. Shellfish and shrimp make up the majority of their diets. Their caretakers want them to have as close to a natural lifestyle as they would have in the wild.
Sea Otters eat shellfish jkass. That's their diet, not fish. They thoroughly enjoy gorging on scallops, shrimp, mussels, crabs, sea urchin, clams, snails, etc, etc. They protect kelp forests by putting sea urchins in their pot bellies. Do not disparage the mighty sea otter by questioning their diet.
