Sea Otters CRUNCHING ice

Описание: #otters #seaotters #kpassionate
Sea Otters LOVE eating ice. But it's also really good for them. In the wild, crunching on the shells of clams, mussels, and other mollusks scrapes away plaque and helps keep their teeth clean and healthy. Chewing on ice does the same thing. It's how they brush!

The sea otters in this video were all rescued at a very young age after becoming separated from their mothers. After rehabilitation, they were assessed by government agencies such as the Department of Fish and Wildlife Canada and the NOAA in the US and were deemed non-releasable after determining that they lacked the necessary skills to survive in the wild.

Joey the Sea Otter was rescued in 2020 off the coast of Vancouver Island after his cries were heard throughout the night. It was determined that he was only a day old and that his mother had tragically passed away. I was one of the lucky marine biologists who participated in his rescue and rehabilitation. Since he was so young at the time of rescue, biologists at the Department of Fisheries Canada determined that Joey the Sea Otter lacked the skills to survive in the wild and thus deemed him non-releasable. He has thrived under human care and adapted well to his new otter family.

At the time of her rescue, Tazlina was determined to be only a day old. She still had her umbilical cord and her teeth had just begun to erupt. Because she was so young, and because she was extensively raised by humans, the NOAA and the Alaskan Department of Wildlife determined she lacked the skills to survive in the wild and would be a poor candidate for release. I was happy to have been one of the lucky marine biologists who took part in raising her by hand and she has a very special place in my heart!

Rialto was discovered stranded on Rialto Beach in Olympic National Park. At the time, he was less than a month old. I was one of the lucky marine biologists tasked with nursing him back to health with 24/7 care, both at the Seattle Aquarium and eventually the Vancouver Aquarium.
