Via Seattle Aquarium - now, the aquarium didn’t want to just show you a cute picture, they wanted to tell you this:
If you’ve ever been to the Seattle Aquarium, you’ve seen the impact of policy that protects vulnerable species.
Sea otters (like Mishka here) were once on the brink of extinction with as little as 1,000–2,000 otters remaining in the U.S. population. Now, thanks to laws like the Endangered Species Act (ESA), sea otter populations are recovering—but that could change with recent threats to this vital legislation.
Currently, the ESA has saved 99% of species listed on it from extinction. Let's make sure it stays that way. Contact your federal legislators in both chambers of congress and urge them to protect and strengthen the ESA, not weaken it. We've made it easy with three simple steps and a template to follow when contacting your representatives.
I’ll contact my reps if you contact yours!

Baby's First Bottle Feeding

Our cameras were lucky enough to be in our quarantined Wildlife Response area to film Homer boy’s very first bottle feed!
Not all orphaned otter pup patients adjust to taking formula from a bottle well. It’s quite different from suckling milk from their mothers, so it’s always a win for our team (and the otter!) when a pup takes to a bottle quickly. His first time trying the bottle was a little messy, but since then, this little pup has mastered the bottle.
And, of course, dinner is always followed by a swim and a bath!
This little guy, “Homer boy,” is the same from this post from about a week ago.

Our Rescued Female Pup Has a Name Now!

Via Alaska SeaLife Center, which writes:
Our first otter patient admitted in 2025, the young female from Homer, now has a name:
✨Meet Un’a! ✨
Un’a means “that out in the open water” in the language of the Alutiiq/Sugpiaq people. It’s a fitting name for this special pup who has shown strong resilience in her recovery!
See our previous posts here, here, and here - or check out her new tag!
