Quick Glance: Rescuing Stranded Sea Otter Pups with Surrogate Moms in California Aquarium
- Annually, approximately 10 to 15 stranded sea otter pups are discovered along the California coastline, often a result of storms causing separation between mother and offspring.
- Through a collaboration between the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the pups are connected with surrogate sea otter mothers to impart crucial skills and facilitate their return to the wilderness.
- Program manager Megan Smylie details how the adult surrogate mother will impart behaviors to the pups that humans are incapable of teaching, such as foraging, prey manipulation, and shell opening.
- Having already saved eight stranded pups, the two aquariums aspire for additional organizations to join the initiative in boosting the wild population and safeguarding the ecosystem of the Californian coast.
